    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.

      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/

    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.

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

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