Atleast here the crewmembers quit. In my country, though....

Does Danny know um... like, he's brown? Does he know that? There is no such thing as "one of the good ones", pal. They don't think of you as human and you'll figure that out when you are no longer useful.

Fucking dumbass.

Like a third of ICE are hispanic

sadly there are old conservative and well off Hispanics who fall for Trump and racist bullshit as well as white Americans.

It's spelled p-r-o-p-a-g-a-n-d-a

HOLA ICE

Danny….. why?

His experience with Mr. Birchum was just so good had to reunite with the daily wire.

But also, let's not ignore that Harvey Keitel is also in this propaganda.

Aparently he didn't know until it was too late

It should have been obvious that it would be a disgusting film when zionazi Ben Shapiro is involved

Looks like it's not an isolated incident.

you'd think he have fuck you $ by now, with a lawyer on retainer. could probably argue the contract void for a number of reasons

He filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and owes the IRS amount two million dollars in back taxes. I am probably financially worth more than him at this point.

I thought there was more to the story, but he still needs to say something himself. If it's a lawsuit he's worried about, he'll lose more "being professional". He's losing friends, fans and his legacy.

My daddy wants to say his boss is mean but his widdle mowf haf been fiwed wif moneycock. boohoo👉👈🥺

If doesn't fire his agent IMMEDIATELY then Danny is just as much to blame.

Mental decline probably

This is likely for a lot of these actors. They're on their expiration chapter, look at the photo. That's not the person you watched in movies growing up. Same with Tyson walking with Drippy Diaper Don, I mean at least he has an excuse of multiple concussions.

tyson has the excuse of "I am mike tyson, a violent rapist, and I support other violent rapists."

Fuck mike tyson, Fuck him two decades ago, Fuck him yesterday, and Fuck him tomorrow. trump is tyson's brand, not some anomaly.

He did say I'm going to fuck you till you love me ---got on TV so yeah...

And he was convicted of, then served time for, rape.

That, or he raped someone.

for real. this saddens me.

I thought Danny Trejo was cool. Oh well.

Dude literally was a drug dealing and did armed robbery. These people have zero self awareness. Danny will probably be calling for help when they load his ass on the plan last?

It always is a bit shocking when immigrants are hard liners for immigration

My cousins are half-Thai, their mom is an immigrant from Thailand that my uncle married while serving in the Navy. My uncle was a trumper and virulently racist and anti-immigrant and taught his sons to be the same. For bonus points, thanks to the genetic dice my cousins happen to look generally central american and got abused more for that growing up in Florida than for being half Asian. How you could have that kind of background and still be a white supremacist is beyond me, but they've pulled it off. It helps a lot that they are just straight up stupid.

The leopards told them they're only eating the faces of those who are bad.

Tbf, I’m trying to think of a time Danny said no to being in a film.

"Bruce, did you know that some actors turn down roles?"

I've heard he'll do student films for free if they cover his transportation. Or something along those lines.

Ha! You've got a point

It’s shocking that immigrants that jumped through the hoops to do it legally are against those that skip all that and immigrate illegally?

Also, Danny isn’t an immigrant. He was born in California lol.

ICE locks up legal immigrants and asylum seekers.

People on holiday, US citizens, their own grandma (probably).

What an arbitrary distinction given that legal immigrants are in just as much danger from ICE right now, and ICE is completely lawless — first amendment, fourth amendment, violating habeas corpus (a legal principle older than the Magna Carta), masking their identities, not to mention executing people. If the Supreme Court weren’t illegitimate, everyone involved with ICE would be in prison.

Danny Trejo's involvement with this is.... Unexpected.

Also, it's funny that they'd lie and obfuscate what the movie is about, because they know people won't want to work for them. It's like they know what they're doing is despicable, and that's why they're trying to hide it in the first place.

Standard operating procedure for right wing shitbags.

"Unexpected, this is. And unfortunate."

Unexpected how though? Latinos skew republican pretty heavily unfortunately.

Though he does claim to be anti ICE and pro immigration https://www.tmz.com/2026/10/09/danny-trejo-speaks-out-on-ben-shapiro-movie-backlash/

not heavily:

With 56 percent of the Latino vote, Kamala Harris continued the trend of Democratic majorities. However, Trump’s share of the Latino vote is a major improvement from his first presidential campaign in 2016 where he only captured 28 percent of the bloc’s votes and in 2020 when he captured 32 percent

https://www.as-coa.org/articles/how-latinos-voted-2024-us-presidential-election

Ah right I might be remembering wrong and perhaps it's just in Florida.

A Pro-ICE film? Finally something that will be an even bigger blockbuster than the sweeping hit that was 'Melania'!

Damnit. I liked Danny. So much for that.

Alas, who could have guessed that an actor famous solely for dying on screen and mumbling incoherently was a total fucking moron.

Damn. Can beloved actors please stop doing things to ruin their likability?

Thanks.

You do realise that an actors literal job is to pretend to be likeable

It's their job to appear likeable. It isn't their job to fake it. Some of them actually are likeable.

Some like Pedro Pascal do method acting and actually live being likeable.

Harvey Keitel is in this too according to the article.

He said "beloved" actors

The film also reportedly includes a scene in which Melanie — a protester whom the script describes as a “fat blue-hair,” according to IndieWire — panics when confronted by an armed ICE officer and accidentally strikes his partner with her car. In the film, the officer shoots Melanie and his partner dies of his injuries. In the film, media ignores the collision and calls the shooting a “murder,” per IndieWire.

God Damn conservatives are so fucking pathetic. Reality doesn't match their worldview so they just make a movie where they obviously recreate a real world event with their own made up bullshit shoehorned in.

I sense a future Leopards Ate My Face moment here. A Latino actor makes a pro-ICE film thinking, I dunno, that spinning their murder of a woman who made the mistake of seeing too much, and then later faces deportation, and tells people he didn't think they'd come for him after he tried to change public opinion about them.

he was born in cali, but yeah. he’ll get into shit.

I hope he quits too. He's not rich, he needs money like the rest of us, but there are some lines you don't cross.

In 2020 Trejo said he was a Democrat as was his father.

Democrats are pro-ICE, too.

Most Democrats are not pro-ICE, and those who are don't endorse their present tactics. All Republicans are pro-ICE.

Most democrats citizens are not pro ice. Most democrat politicians are

That’s because the greatest lie that was ever told to the American public was “democrats are the left progressive party”

Every time there is a vote on ICE, the exact minimum number of Democrats required to pass the issue vote in support. That is true even when they hold a majority. Your post makes it sound like that is a carefully orchestrated phantasm.

I want to present an alternative explanation.

I can't, but I want to.

It happens over and over again.

The leader of the Democratic party in the Senate whipped votes to endure the ICE expansion would pass, and voted for it himself.

The Democratic party might talk some shit about ICE, but the guy who they have elected as their party leader for 20+ years voted to quintuple its budget.

Obama gave ICE "cazr" Tom Homan a service award after Homan created the policy to separate children from the parents during immigration issues. Seems like a Trump policy, but nope, it was Dems. Never let the republicans claim they are crueler to immigrants than Dem leaders are. Biden and Obama made Trump look like a dirty hippie by comparison.

I was with you until the last sentence, can't cosign that one, trump is a grotesque, but yeah Obama and Biden have a LOT of blood on their hands.

, before him.

Phew, thanks for pointing that out. I thought he meant the father that was a democrat after him.

Danny Trejo why

paycheck

I'm on this ride 'cause I have no pride

In myself, or in men, or in God!

Now if you want to share in the price of my fare

Then fill your mind with greed that is blind

And wander in its evil fog

Night Train To Mundo Fine

Probably just a low-information normie who “isn’t political.” Like the independent voters who put Trump over the top in 2024 because eggs were expensive or something.

A normie former armed robber

what the fuck is this comment? dude did petty crime more than half a century ago and that condemns him for all of eternity? fuck off

Serious felony not petty crime. Regardless, he has a different morality to normal people.

Me when I sign on to work on a Daily Wire film only to find out it's going to be reactionary

I watched a bit of that Merlin bullshit he produced and my eyes rolled so much they did a 360 when they started with the proselytising

I was so disappointed in that garbage. I noped out halfway through the first episode.
