Some of music and film’s biggest stars have used awards season to protest the killings of average citizens by masked ICE officers by wearing pins in support of the #BeGood campaign, an initiative endorsed by the ACLU.
Most recently, Dave Grohl, his wife Jordyn Blum, and Olivia Rodrigo all wore “ICE OUT” pins during the Resonator Awards (an an event during Grammys weeek). Similar pins was also worn by several celebrities during the Golden Globes earlier this month, including Ariana Grande, Mark Ruffalo, Jean Smart, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Rose Bryne, and Wanda Sykes. Meanwhile, both Natalie Portman and Olivia Wilde were seen wearing pins during recent Sundance appearances. Outside of #BeGood, other musical acts, including Billie Eilish and Dropkick Murphys, have also spoken up about ICE’s continued activities.
The #BeGood campaign was organized a group of entertainment industry professionals with support from Maremoto, Move On, National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Working Families Power. “For the past year, the Trump administration has been stretching federal power to punish and intimidate communities, often by turning immigrants into scapegoats and using the Department of Homeland Security as the tip of the spear,” read a statement detailing the initiative. “ICE is not making our communities safer. They are bringing chaos into our streets, and families, immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, pay the price.”

Last year marked ICE’s deadliest year in some two decades. In addition to more widely-publicized deaths of Renee Macklin Good and Alex Pretti, #BeGood also honors the lives of Liam Ramos, Keith Porter Jr., and the 30 or so others who have been harmed or killed in ICE’s custody in 2025 and 2026. As Donald Trump has enacted a “$100 million wartime-style recruitment campaign,” #BeGood argues that “ICE is not making communities safer but is instead bringing chaos to the streets — with families, immigrants, and U.S. citizens alike paying the price.”
Beyond that, the #BeGood campaign seeks to offer a reminder of “what it means to be good to one another in the face of such horror – to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally and human. 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.”
