TMZ reported that Trejo had told people on set that he was attracted to the role because it was a positive depiction of a Latino who is also a veteran.
The production was shut down in Livingston, Montana last Saturday when locals complained about the production’s impact on the Livingston food bank and improper warnings about hazardous stunts. Production resumed Monday, with political commentator Shapiro slamming the shutdown as “content discrimination” and “a violation of the First Amendment.”
One scene that was captured on video by TMZ appeared to recreate the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good. Harvey Keitel co-stars as a fellow veteran hired by Trejo’s character to work at the pawn shop.
The logline for the film reads: “When a Minneapolis riot forces a young ICE officer to complete a high-stakes arrest alone after his partner is killed, he is hunted through the streets by a furious mob intent on freeing the prisoner and punishing anyone who still upholds the law. Barricaded inside a neighborhood pawn shop with a hard-edged Hispanic veteran and the man’s progressive college-age grandson, ordinary men must choose between the rule of law and the chaos that wants to burn it all down in a modern siege of honor and defiance.”
No shit did read the fucking script? The goddamn description alone support the narrative that this is a pro ICE film.
Well, Danny, it sure fuckin seems like youre helping them look better.

Unfortunately (here at least) in the US, you can't defame the dead, so they are probably going to depict Good with rainbow demon horns driving a spiked Mad Max corpse wagon directly at a white, straight baby in the street listening to a Newsmax podcast, only thwarted at the last second by the ICE agent who narrowly is able to shoot her in the face.

Do they realize we can all see them masturbating?
Damn, they got Trejo. There's no way he was ignorant of the films message or intended impact. He's lost all respectability in my eyes, and I'll never again pay to see work he's involved in. Machete weeps.
Cognitive decline could play a role. He's 82
Seems like other than The Irishman he has not had a major movie in the last few years. Tons of low budget direct to video movies. So he just doesn't give a shit maybe
" I'm not Pro ICE, I'm pro myself and that paycheck. Fuck everyone else! "
Once again, at basically everything,
sigh

So the film is showing the ICE officer as a hero doing his job? What the fuck Trejo????? Come on.
That Run Hide movie they did had the racist roommate of the MC shout a slur at one of terrorists before killing him. Said roommate was established as a racist by racisting at a fellow student.
His character arc wasn't like, having to team up with the other student and learning you should judge people by their actions, it was literally just being a racist and a hero who helped stop a mass killing.
Wonder what the message was there, Danny.

If he's pro-imigrant then he should stop working with a fascist propaganda factory.
