Several high-profile figures attending Sunday night’s Golden Globes made a quiet but powerful statement on the red carpet by wearing pins reading “Ice Out” and “Be Good.” The gesture was intended to honor the life of Renée Macklin Good, who was killed earlier this week in Minneapolis during an encounter involving ICE.
Actors and entertainers such as Mark Ruffalo, Jean Smart, Natasha Lyonne, and Wanda Sykes were among those seen wearing the pins. The accessories were part of a protest initiative endorsed by the ACLU and organized by a coalition of professionals from the entertainment industry. Additional backing for the campaign came from groups including Maremoto, Move On, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Working Families Power.
The pins were visible during arrivals on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, including appearances captured during the Variety Golden Globes Pre-Show presented by Amazon Fire TV.
According to the campaign’s organizers, the effort also commemorates Keith Porter, who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve. In a statement, organizers explained that the message is meant to highlight compassion and solidarity in the face of violence. They emphasized everyday acts of kindness and courage, such as protecting children on their way to school, documenting workplace detentions, and donating to organizations that provide community support.
The organizers also pointed out that 2025 has become one of the deadliest years for ICE-related incidents in the past two decades. The campaign emerges as a response to the current administration’s $100 million wartime-style recruitment drive aimed at increasing immigration enforcement.
“For the past year, the Trump administration has pushed the limits of federal authority to intimidate and penalize communities,” the statement continued. “Immigrants have been used as scapegoats, with the Department of Homeland Security leading this effort. ICE does not make communities safer. Instead, its actions create instability, leaving families, immigrants, and U.S. citizens to bear the consequences.”
