Montana Locals Protest Daily Wire’s Pro-ICE Production As Filming Disrupts Businesses With Dramatization Of Renée Good Shooting

Protesters gathered in Livingston, Montana to disrupt filming of Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier's Bonfire Legend's dramatization of Renée Good's January killing by an ICE officer. The movie, currently filming under the working title "Pawn Shop," is being described as "pro-ICE" by locals.

The center's statement mentioned that they were not notified of the plans and had no opportunity to object during the permit process.
