Ben Shapiro’s Pro-ICE Movie Restarts Production, Slams Shutdown as a ‘Violation of the First Amendment’

Ben Shapiro has resumed production of the pro-ICE film Pawn Shop in Livingston, Montana, after the City Commission previously shut down the shoot. The Daily Wire founder condemned the decision, describing it as content discrimination and a direct violation of the First Amendment. The project restarted filming following a city hearing and amid frequent protests. Shapiro maintains that the local officials' actions were motivated by the film's political nature rather than legitimate regulatory concerns.
