Hollywood actors clash over free expression as celebrities speak out against ICE following Minneapolis shooting Stephanie Giang-Paunon By Stephanie Giang-Paunon Fox News Published January 29, 2026 11:22am EST
Hollywood actor Dean Cain is pushing back after Ethan Hawke claimed America is no longer free and said there’s now "a fear in the air."
"Try being a conservative, pal," Cain wrote on X, after Hawke suggested that expressing himself publicly now comes with consequences he’s never felt before. Hawke claimed that the atmosphere in America has fundamentally changed.

That’s exactly how I felt under President Shit for Brains. I guess it’s a matter of perspective.
Then self DEPORT
Someone call the waaambulance for Ethan Squawke . . .
Celebrities? Who cares about them? Shut up and dance, sing, act, etc. No one cares about their thoughts on politics. Same goes for brain-dead protesters on the streets, blocking people trying to get to jobs or providing for their families. They’re not going to change minds. People who sneak into the country illegally and committing crimes need to be deported or killed. Period.
How about, Just Shut Up and Act! No-one cares about what you think about. PERIOD.
When can AI rid us of the whole Hollyweird class?
Just Only Shut the Hell Up and Act (J-O-S-H-U-A)!
Nothing says oppression like making a statement on a nationally available broadcast criticizing the current president with absolutely no fear of repercussions.
Hawke is from Austin. Nuff said.
Love Dean Cain. Best Clark Kent yet.
I believe the two women pictured at the link with their Ice Out Buttons (goofy) are both Brits. Dingbats need to stay out of our business.
Whenever I think of politics mixing with acting, three words come to mind. John. Wilkes. Booth.
Agreed.
My thoughts exactly.
The sooner the better.
And take his comrades with him!
Well it isn’t, celebrities have to pay their help like everyone else now.
They brought it upon themselves.
I feel the same way, in all directions.
Take Ted Nugent. Broadly, I love his stance on guns. But honestly Uncle Ted, please put a sock in it and play Stranglehold.
