The 2026 Golden Globe Awards saw several attendees using the event to protest the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), wearing pins with the slogans “ICE OUT” and “BE GOOD”. This action was connected to recent fatal shootings involving ICE personnel and a broader campaign against ICE practices.
U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
ICE is a directorate within the Department of homeland Security (DHS), established in 2003. Its stated mission is to enforce federal laws governing immigration and customs. ICE’s responsibilities include identifying and apprehending individuals who are in the United States without legal authorization, as well as preventing terrorism and combating transnational criminal organizations.The agency has faced critically important criticism regarding its detention practices, family separations, and use of force.
The “ICE OUT” and “BE GOOD” Campaign
The pin protest was part of an ACLU-endorsed campaign, #begood, organized by entertainment industry professionals with support from several organizations including Maremoto, Move On, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Working Families Power. The campaign specifically aimed to honor Renee Nicole good and Keith Porter,both of whom were fatally shot by ICE personnel in late 2025/early 2026. Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Keith Porter was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent in Los Angeles, California. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been a vocal critic of ICE policies and practices, advocating for immigration reform and increased oversight of the agency.
Celebrity Participation at the Golden Globes
Several high-profile actors and entertainers participated in the protest by wearing the “ICE OUT” and “BE GOOD” pins. Confirmed attendees wearing the pins included Jean Smart, ariana Grande, Mark ruffalo, Natasha Lyonne, Tessa Thompson, Wanda Sykes, and Bella Ramsey.
Criticism of ICE Practices & DHS Statements
The #BeGood campaign statement alleges that the Trump administration expanded federal power to target immigrant communities. Current department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has outlined ICE enforcement priorities focusing on threats to national security, public safety, and border security.However, concerns remain regarding the agency’s broad authority and potential for abuse. Human Rights Watch and other organizations continue to document alleged human rights violations within ICE detention centers and during enforcement operations.
