Danny Trejo Insists He’s “Pro-Immigrant” Amid Daily Wire Backlash
Danny Trejo has broken his silence amid backlash around his role in Daily Wire‘s latest controversial production.
On Friday, the Mexican-American veteran actor insisted he’s “pro-immigrant,” despite his casting in the pro-ICE film from Ben Shapiro‘s production company and Dallas Sonnier’s Bonfire Legend, which has been protested by locals in Livingston, Montana, where filming has been underway.
“Hey everyone. I want to address some social media comments about me,” he began in a statement on social media. “Make no mistake. I am a proud Mexican who has always been and will always be a supporter of my community. I am also obviously, pro immigrant. I am not pro ice. I know where I come from and I know our struggles. I am an actor. My job is to tell a story. God Bless you, Danny
Trejo added in the caption, “I am a proud Mexican who has always been and will always be a supporter of my community. I am also obviously, pro-immigrant. I am not pro-ICE.”
