- The pin campaign also remembers Keith Porter, killed by an off-duty ICE officer in Los Angeles on Dec. 31, 2025.
- 2025 marked ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, according to campaign organizers.
**Why it matters: Celebrities used the awards show’s global platform to spotlight alleged ICE abuses and demand accountability.
Celebrities turned the red carpet into a protest stage at the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 11, 2026, wearing white-and-black “BE GOOD” pins to honor two people recently killed by immigration officers.
Wanda Sykes, 61, told Variety the pin honors “the mother who was murdered by an ICE agent.” She added, “We need to be out there and shut this rogue government down, because it’s just awful what they’re doing to people.”
The victims behind the pins
- Renee Nicole Good died in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 during ICE raids that followed heightened anti-Somali rhetoric from the Trump administration.
- Keith Porter was shot in Los Angeles on Dec. 31 by an off-duty ICE officer, according to multiple reports.
Campaign literature says both names appear on the pin “to honor Renee Macklin Good and Keith Porter while also reminding us what it means to be good to one another in the face of such horror.”
Campaign origins and goals
The #BeGood campaign launched after data showed 2025 as ICE’s deadliest year in 20 years. Organizers also cite the administration’s $100 million wartime recruitment campaign to expand enforcement.
Groups involved:
- Marmot
- Move On
- National Domestic Workers Alliance
- Working Families Power
- Entertainment industry leaders
The campaign description reads: “Everyday, everywhere, regular people are being good: keeping kids safe when they walk to school, filming fathers who are being disappeared from their workplaces, donating to fundraisers to support organizations who are keeping us safe.”
Red-carpet reaction
Mark Ruffalo and Jean Smart also arrived wearing the pins. Daniel J. Whitman reported for News Of Losangeles that multiple attendees pinned the message to tuxedos and gowns moments before stepping in front of photographers.
Sykes referenced nationwide marches happening the same day: “I know people are out marching and all today, and we need to speak up.”
Key takeaways
- The BE GOOD pins transformed awards-show fashion into political statement.
- Organizers want the public to remember Good and Porter as symbols of ICE-related deaths in 2025.
