Celebrities like Mark Ruffalo, Natasha Lyonne, Jean Smart and Wanda Sykes wore anti-ICE badges on Sunday to the Golden Globes, in tribute to Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis.

The black-and-white pins displayed slogans like “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT,” introducing a political angle into the awards show after last year’s relatively apolitical ceremony, according to Independent.

While giving an interview on the red carpet, Ruffalo stated that this act was Good, and for the people of US who are “terrorised and scared today.”

“I know I’m one of em, I love this country and what I’m seeing here happening is not America.”

Talking about why he chose to speak up on the incident at the Golden Globe, Ruffalo expressed that the situation isn’t normal anymore.

“And so I don’t know how I can be quiet.”

On Wednesday, the 37-year-old woman, Good, was shot at point-blank range in her car by a US immigration agent amid an enforcement surge, marking the latest violent incident during President Donald Trump’s crackdown on migrants.

The incident triggered widespread outrage in the city, with thousands of protestors on the frigid streets of Minneapolis, with city and state leaders rejecting White House claims that the victim was a domestic terrorist and calling for a full investigation.

As per the Independent, other celebrities were expected to have the badges on as well.

The idea for the “ICE OUT” pins began with a late-night text exchange earlier this week between Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power and Jess Morales Rocketto, the executive director of a Latino advocacy group called Maremoto, Independent reported.

“We need every part of civil society, society to speak up. We need our artists. We need our entertainers. We need the folks who reflect society,” Stamp said.

The organisers pledged to continue the campaign throughout awards season to ensure the public knows the names of Good and others killed by ICE agents in shootings.

This is not the first time celebrities have worn pins to award shows to raise their voices against injustice. Last year, celebrities like Billie Eilish, Riz Ahmed, Ramy Youssef, Ruffalo, among many others, wore Artists for Ceasefire pin, which was emblematic of an open letter written to US President Joe Biden calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
