Stars Shine Light on ICE Issues at Golden Globes

A Political Statement

Stars wore pins to honor Renee Good, shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. The pins read "BE GOOD" and "ICE OUT."

A Shift in Focus

The Golden Globes, usually about movies and TV, brought politics to the forefront this year. Celebrities like Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, and Ariana Grande wore the pins. Jean Smart even wore hers while accepting an award.

The Incident and Protests

The shooting happened just days before the Golden Globes. Protests erupted across the country, demanding justice for Renee Good. Protests also occurred in Portland, where ICE agents hurt two people.

Activists' Push

Activists urged celebrities to speak up. Nelini Stamp, an organizer, said, "We need our artists. We need our entertainers."

Administration's Response

The Trump administration defended the ICE officer, claiming self-defense. However, protests continued, with people demanding answers.

The Origin of the Pins

The idea for the pins came from a late-night text between Jess Morales Rocketto and Nelini Stamp. They reached out to celebrities, and the pins spread quickly.

Ongoing Efforts

The organizers plan to keep pushing for justice. They want people to remember Renee Good and fight for justice for her and others.
