Production of the Daily Wire’s pro‑ICE film “Pawn Shop” was paused in Livingston, Colorado, after city officials cited local business, food‑bank and notification concerns.

Production of the Daily Wire’s pro‑ICE movie “Pawn Shop” was halted Saturday in Livingston, Colorado, after the city commission received objections from residents.

Commission vote suspends filming

The Special City Commission met on Saturday and voted to suspend the shoot pending a review of the project’s impact on the community. Commissioners said the decision reflects “the need to protect local businesses and essential services.”

Community concerns

Livingston residents voiced worries that the film could deter customers from downtown shops and strain the town’s only food bank. They also claimed the production failed to provide proper notice about hazardous materials that might be used on set.

• Potential disruption to local businesses
• Effect on the city’s sole food bank
• Alleged lack of hazardous‑material notification

Producer response

A spokesperson for the Daily Wire said the company will cooperate with city officials and provide any missing documentation. The spokesperson added that the film’s storyline supports law‑enforcement agencies and that the production team intends to resume work once concerns are addressed.

Next steps

The commission will hold a follow‑up meeting next week to assess the producer’s compliance with local regulations. If the review clears the project, filming may restart under revised safety protocols.

Local business owners said they will monitor the situation closely. “We want to see a clear plan that protects our customers and the food bank,” one shopkeeper said.

Authorities have not indicated a timeline for a final decision. The suspension remains in effect until the city receives satisfactory assurances regarding safety and community impact.
