Some celebrities wore anti-ICE pins at the Golden Globes on Sunday to honor Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis earlier this week.
The black-and-white pins featured slogans including "BE GOOD" and "ICE OUT," marking a return to political activism at the awards show following last year's largely apolitical ceremony. Actor Mark Ruffalo, comedian and actress Wanda Sykes, and actress Natasha Lyonne were among those wearing the pins on the red carpet, with additional celebrities expected to display them throughout the evening.
Why It Matters
The Golden Globes demonstration represents Hollywood's response to intensifying scrutiny of immigration enforcement tactics following Good's death and the shooting of two people by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent in Portland.

The protest brings national attention to these incidents at a critical moment, as over 1,000 protests took place nationwide over the weekend demanding ICE accountability and removal from communities. The Department of Homeland Security has defended the Minneapolis shooting as self-defense, while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and other Democratic leaders have sharply criticized the agency's actions and called for ICE to leave the city.

What To Know
Good was shot and killed in her car by an ICE officer on Wednesday in Minneapolis. Since then, protests have erupted nationwide demanding accountability for her death and the Portland shooting.
On Saturday, thousands marched in Minneapolis in one of hundreds of demonstrations held across all 50 states, coordinated by groups including the ACLU, the 50501 Movement, and Indivisible. Most protests remained peaceful, though a Friday night demonstration outside a Minneapolis hotel where ICE agents are reportedly staying turned violent, with protesters shattering windows and spraying graffiti before police deployed around 100 state troopers.
An FBI investigation into Good's killing is currently ongoing, and members of Congress have pledged an assertive response. The Trump administration has defended the ICE officer's actions, asserting he acted in self-defense because he believed Good would strike him with her vehicle. President Trump posted on Truth Social that Good "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer" who "seems to have shot her in self-defense."
Just one week before Good's death, an off-duty ICE officer fatally shot 43-year-old Keith Porter in Los Angeles, sparking additional protests calling for the officer's arrest. The DHS deployment in Minneapolis represents the agency's largest immigration enforcement operation ever, with more than 2,000 officers participating.
The pin campaign originated from a late-night text exchange between Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power and Jess Morales Rocketto, executive director of Latino advocacy group Maremoto. The organizers mobilized their network of celebrities and influencers, who distributed pins at pre-awards parties and events throughout the week.
This marks Morales Rocketto's third year organizing Golden Globes activism, having previously rallied Hollywood to protest the Trump administration's family separation policies.
