Stars are speaking out about the fatal ICE shootings of Renee Good and Keith Porter.
On the Golden Globe Awards red carpet Jan. 11, celebrities including Mark Ruffalo and Wanda Sykes wore pins reading "BE GOOD" and "ICE OUT" as they arrived at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
The black-and-white pins are in response to the killing of Good, who was fatally shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on Jan. 7. Porter, too, was a Los Angeles man shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year's Eve.
"This is for Renee Nicole Goode, who was murdered," Ruffalo told USA TODAY on the red carpet, proceeding to call out President Donald Trump: "We're in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. He's telling the world that international law doesn't matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality, but the guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile. He's the worst human being. If we're relying on this guy's morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble.
Mark Ruffalo wears a pin reading "be Good", in tribute to Renee Good, as she attends the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards.
"So this is for her," Ruffalo continued. "This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I'm one of them. I love this country. And what I'm seeing here happening is not America."
Sykes, too, didn't mince words before the show.

1 / 107Golden Globes red carpet – Glen Powell, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, more celebs
The hottest names in Hollywood hit the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 11 in Beverly Hills, California. These were the night's most lavish looks, starting with Glen Powell.
"We need to speak up and shut this rogue government down," Sykes told Variety in an interview before the ceremony. "It's awful what they are doing to people."
The red-carpet protest follows 1,000 events throughout the country as part of the ICE Out For Good movement by the American Civil Liberties Union.
"Today, peaceful protests and vigils kicked off the ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action to honor the lives lost at the hands of ICE, demand accountability, and make visible the human cost of this administration’s actions," a statement read on the ACLU website.
The events encourage people "to be good to one another in the face of such horror – to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally and human."
Although not explicitly mentioning ICE, "Hacks" star Jean Smart also spoke about the strange dichotomy of celebrating film and TV during tumultuous times.
"Everything is kind of overshadowed with everything going on in this country," Smart said in a red-carpet interview with E!, calling the state of the U.S. "very concerning." Smart added that she knows "people find it annoying" when celebrities speak out about "political and social things," but "I'm here speaking as a human being and a mom."
