Earlier this month, celebrities arrived at the 2026 Golden Globes wearing"ICE OUT" buttons. Through the pins, Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Jean Smart, Natasha Lyonne, and more familiar faces showed their support for the ACLU-backed #BeGood campaign, organized by entertainment industry professionals following the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) murders of Renée Macklin Good and Keith Porter.

Since then, stars have continued wearing the buttons, using their platforms to speak out against the Trump administration as ICE agents continue killing innocent civilians. And just yesterday, as the news circulated of Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti's tragic and violent death at the hands of the enforcement,Natalie Portmanstepped out atSundance Film Festivalshowing her support.
