Celebrities Protest ICE at Golden Globes With ‘Be Good’ Pins.
A quiet but powerful message made its way down the Golden Globes red carpet this year. Amid the gowns, tuxedos and flashing cameras, several celebrities chose to wear statement pins to point towards remembrance, protest and solidarity.
At Sunday night’s ceremony, a number of nominees, presenters and guests were seen wearing pins reading “Ice Out” and “Be Good” in memory of Renée Macklin Good, who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis earlier this week. The pins appeared throughout the red carpet ahead of the awards show.
Among those spotted wearing the pins were Mark Ruffalo, Jean Smart, Natasha Lyonne and Wanda Sykes. The pins are part of an ACLU-endorsed protest campaign organized by a coalition of entertainment industry professionals. The effort is also supported by several advocacy groups, including Maremoto, Move On, National Domestic Workers Alliance and Working Families Power.
The show of support was visible during the Variety Golden Globes Pre-Show, presented by Amazon Fire TV, where celebrities were photographed wearing the pins before heading into the Beverly Hilton for the ceremony.
According to the organizers, the campaign is not only meant to honor Renée Macklin Good, but also to remember Keith Porter, who was shot by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve. In a statement, the group explained the message behind the pins: “reminding us what it means to be good to one another in the face of such horror – to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally and human. Everyday, everywhere, regular people are being good: keeping kids safe when they walk to school, filming fathers who are being disappeared from their workplaces, donating to fundraisers to support organizations who are keeping us safe.”
The organizers also pointed to broader concerns surrounding immigration enforcement. They noted that 2025 marked one of ICE’s deadliest years in the past two decades, adding that the campaign was launched in response to the current administration’s $100 million wartime-style recruitment drive aimed at expanding enforcement capacity.
“For the past year, the Trump administration has been stretching federal power to punish and intimidate communities, often by turning immigrants into scapegoats and using the Department of Homeland Security as the tip of the spear. ICE is not making our communities safer. They are bringing chaos into our streets, and families, immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, pay the price,” the organisers said.
