Introduction to the Golden Globes and the #BeGood Campaign
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards have begun, and many fans are still reeling from seeing their favorite faces on the silver screen making their way down the red carpet. However, it didn’t take long for viewers to notice several celebrities donning a special ‘Be Good’ and ‘ICE Out’ pin.

The #BeGood campaign, organized by a group of industry professionals, intends to remind people ‘to be good to one another in the face of such horror – to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally, and human’.
The Shooting of Renee Good and the Controversy Surrounding It
The shooting of Renee Good has sparked controversy, with conflicting accounts of what happened. According to reports, Good, 37, was shot dead by ICE agents on Wednesday, January 7, after it was claimed she was ‘blocking the street’ with her car while they carried out an operation in Minnesota city. Footage of the incident appeared to show an officer confronting Good in her car before firing several shots into the vehicle as it started to move. However, accounts of what actually happened have been conflicting, with Trump administration officials describing the shooting as an act of self-defense, claiming Good had engaged in ‘domestic terrorism’. President Donald Trump has defended ICE, claiming on Truth Social that Good was an ‘agitator’ and the ICE officer was ‘violently’ ran over by her.
The Response from the Trump Administration and the ACLU
The Trump administration has been criticized for its response to the shooting, with many claiming that the administration is trying to justify the actions of the ICE agents.

They are bringing chaos into our streets, and families, immigrants, and US citizens alike, pay the price." The ACLU has also endorsed the #BeGood campaign, which is launching following reports that 2025 was one of ICE’s deadliest years in two decades. The campaign is a response to the Trump administration’s $100 million wartime recruitment campaign aimed at expanding enforcement capacity.
