At the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, several celebrities wore anti-ICE pins reading “Be Good” and “ICE Out.” Among those spotted were Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Natasha Lyonne, Jean Smart, and Ariana Grande. Stars worn the pins in protest against the killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on January 7.
According to Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power, one of the organizers behind the idea alongside Jess Morales Rocketto of the Latino advocacy group Maremoto, “(In a moment like this), we need every part of civil society to speak up.” The organizations involved have pledged to continue the protest, while an FBI investigation into the killing is ongoing.
