Golden Globes Red Carpet Spotlights ACLU-Backed 'Be Good' Pins Protesting ICE

An ACLU-endorsed campaign leveraged red-carpet visibility to press for accountability in two recent ICE-related deaths.

Overview

  • Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Jean Smart, Natasha Lyonne and Ariana Grande were among those wearing black-and-white 'Be Good' and 'ICE OUT' pins on Sunday.
  • The gesture honored Renee Macklin Good, fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, and Keith Porter, killed by an off-duty ICE officer in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve.
  • Organizers say the pin effort was initiated by activists Nelini Stamp and Jess Morales Rocketto, with pins distributed through entertainment networks during awards week.
  • The red-carpet display followed a reported 1,000 events nationwide under the ICE Out For Good campaign coordinated by the ACLU and partner groups.
  • DHS has characterized Good’s killing as self-defense, a claim publicly challenged by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, as an FBI investigation remains active and lawmakers promise oversight.
