The glamour of Hollywood was tempered on Sunday at the Golden Globes, as celebrities used their red-carpet platform to honor a young woman who lost her life in a tragic and senseless act of violence. Renee Nicole Good, 35, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, Jonathan Ross, in Minneapolis earlier this week.
In a powerful display of solidarity, some stars wore anti-ICE pins on the red carpet, bearing slogans like "BE GOOD" and "ICE OUT." Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, and Natasha Lyonne were among those who took to social media to show their support for Good, with more expected to join in throughout the evening.
The Golden Globes have long been a platform for Hollywood's elite to use their voices for good, but on Sunday, they chose to focus on a cause that has sparked widespread outrage and protests across the country. The demonstration is a response to intensifying scrutiny of immigration enforcement tactics, which many argue are discriminatory and inhumane.
Good's death has brought national attention to the plight of immigrants living in fear of deportation and police brutality, with thousands taking to the streets over the weekend to demand accountability for her killing and the shooting of two people by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent in Portland. The FBI is currently investigating Good's killing, while members of Congress have pledged an assertive response.
The Trump administration has defended ICE officer Ross's actions, claiming he acted in self-defense after Good allegedly threatened him with her vehicle. However, witnesses report that Good was simply driving home from work when she was shot and killed by the officer.
As the Golden Globes continue on Sunday night, it remains to be seen how the ceremony will impact the national conversation around immigration enforcement and police brutality. But one thing is clear: Renee Nicole Good's tragic death has brought attention to a pressing issue that needs to be addressed, and Hollywood's response has been loud and clear.

, how can we say she was "threatening" the dude? witnesses said it was just a normal drive home from work 
, meanwhile trump admin is still trying to spin this as self-defense lol, get real america 
. Celebs showing solidarity with Renee 
is everything 
. The way they wore anti-ICE pins and used their platforms to raise awareness about police brutality and immigration enforcement is totally on point 
. It's about time we talk about these issues and demand change 
. We need more voices like these, using their influence for good 
. This is what the power of social media and celebrity activism can do 
. Let's keep the momentum going 
and make a difference in Renee's memory 
.
... It's just not right that someone can get killed by the system and no one is held accountable 
. The fact that they're trying to spin it as self-defense just doesn't add up 
. Renee Nicole Good was just a normal person driving home from work, not some kind of threat 
.
ICE officer doin this kinda thing is insane! why they got ta act like dey above da law?? 
it's all abt power & authority, but we gotta make sure dey're held accountable. Mark Ruffalo and Wanda Sykes & Natasha Lyonne showing love & support for Renee Good is the least we can do... more stars shoulda join in too 
I'm still shook by what happened to Renee Good 
. I think it's amazing that all these stars showed up with those pins on their jackets – it's like, they're saying enough is enough 
. We need to start talking about this stuff in our country, you know? It's not just about immigration enforcement, but also about safety and respect for everyone 
.
. The system needs to change, and fast 
.
. i mean dont get me wrong she had a right to be mad & protest against ICE, but isnt that what we're supposed to do? speak out against injustice? its all about timing & who gets the spotlight 
I'm glad to see celebrities using their platform to speak out against ICE tactics, it's about time we have a more nuanced conversation around immigration enforcement 
. Maybe we can use these platforms to explore ways to reform our system in a way that works for everyone, not just those who are being targeted 
.
...like, who wants their badge number on the red carpet? 
...but at the same time, I'm glad that her life is being remembered and that people are speaking out. The more noise, the better chance of change 
.
. But we all know that can't be true 
and it made me think... what else can we do to bring attention to this issue? 
. We need more people like them to help make a difference 
The fact that some stars wore anti-ICE pins on the red carpet is a major wake-up call for us as a society 
It's heartbreaking to think about Renee Nicole Good's life being cut short over this senseless act of violence 
As we speak, there are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, with many fearing deportation due to their status 
. We need more voices like Renee Nicole Good's, advocating for change and justice 
. Did you know that the #JusticeForRenee movement has already gained over 1 million followers on Twitter? 
According to Pew Research Center data, 63% of Americans believe that immigration laws should be more strictly enforced 
. i'm not gonna lie, i was a bit surprised by how many people were rocking anti-ice pins on the red carpet, but at the same time, it's about time we start talking about this stuff 
.
but at the same time, i'm so proud of all the celebs who are using their platform to speak out against ice and police brutality 
. The Golden Globes are doing a great thing by bringing attention to this issue, but I hope it doesn't just stop there 
. We need real change now 
. I mean, it was powerful to see all these celebrities standing together against ICE in such a public way
