Danny Trejo says he is ‘not pro-ICE’ after being cast in movie from Ben Shapiro’s company

For decades, Hollywood actor Danny Trejo’s bread and butter was playing gangsters, prison inmates and other assorted criminals.
So when Trejo was offered the chance to a play a hardworking, peace-loving Mexican shop owner in a thriller with a working title of “Pawn Shop,” the 82-year-old actor “jumped at the idea of playing a good guy,” his son, Gilbert Trejo, posted to social media.
Now Trejo is catching flack for taking part in what’s been described as a pro-ICE movie that is being produced by conservative media outfit The Daily Wire, which was founded by political commentator Ben Shapiro.
