Celebrities Highlight Anti-ICE Sentiment at Golden Globes
Jan, 11 2026
Mark Ruffalo was among those who displayed the pins, which aimed to raise awareness about Good's death and the broader implications of ICE's enforcement actions. Following the incident, protests erupted nationwide, demanding accountability for Good's death and addressing a separate incident in Portland where Border Patrol agents injured two individuals. Some protests escalated into confrontations with law enforcement, particularly in Minneapolis, where ICE was conducting a significant immigration enforcement operation.
Nelini Stamp, an organizer from Working Families Power, emphasized the importance of public figures using their platforms to advocate for social justice. She stated, "We need every part of civil society to speak up. We need our artists. We need our entertainers."
In response to the shooting, Congress members have pledged to take action, and an FBI investigation is underway. The Trump administration has defended the actions of the ICE officer, claiming he acted in self-defense, believing Good's vehicle posed a threat.
The initiative for the anti-ICE pins originated from a conversation between Stamp and Jess Morales Rocketto, the executive director of the Latino advocacy group Maremoto. They recognized the potential of high-profile events to bring attention to pressing social issues. This marks the third consecutive year of activism at the Golden Globes for Morales Rocketto, who has previously mobilized Hollywood against the Trump administration's family separation policies.
The organizers have committed to continuing their campaign throughout the awards season, ensuring that the names of individuals affected by ICE's actions remain in public discourse.
