Ben Shapiro blasts city as pro-ICE film 'Pawn Shop' resumes production

Ben Shapiro's film "Pawn Shop" is back on after a local government temporarily shut it down. Variety reports the Livingston City Commission halted production on the Daily Wire movie, which focuses on ICE agents.

Shapiro, a political commentator, called the move "content discrimination" and "a violation of the First Amendment," according to the outlet. He claimed the city's decision was based on the film's subject matter.

Production has since resumed, per the report. The film is being made under Shapiro's Daily Wire banner.

The story centers on Shapiro's public response to the filming interruption and his allegations against the city commissioners.
