'Be Good': Celebrities Sport Anti-ICE Pins at the Golden Globes
Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, and Natasha Lyonne were among the attendees at the Golden Globes who donned black-and-white pins that read “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT” as a protest against ICE and to honor Renee Good, the unarmed 37-year-old woman who was shot by an ICE agent on Wednesday.
Nationwide protests have echoed this sentiment, demanding accountability for her death, which the Trump Administration defended by claiming Good attempted to deliberately run over an ICE agent. According to CNN, at least 1,000 protests were scheduled for this week.
Ruffalo, nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in HBO’s Task, stated on the red carpet to USA Today that he wore the pin “for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered.” He also labeled Trump a “rapist” and “pedophile.”

Nelini Stamp from Working Families Power, which assisted in organizing the anti-ICE pins, mentioned that the support from celebrities helped amplify the message.
“We need all sectors of civil society to raise their voices,” she told The Associated Press. “Our artists, our entertainers, and those who represent society are essential.”
Protesters have requested justice not only for Good’s death but also for another incident in Portland where Border Patrol agents shot and injured two individuals.
