Ariana Grande was seen wearing an “ICE out” pin at the 2026 Golden Globes ceremony.
In photos taken amid the festivities inside the Beverly Hilton on Sunday (Jan. 11), the Eternal Sunshine artist, nominated that night for Wicked: For Good, is shown wearing the pin on the front of her Vivienne Westwood dress.
Grande’s message comes after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, inspiring protests in the city and elsewhere. While Trump, expectedly, has defended the killing, others, including Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota governor Tim Walz, have criticized it as wholly avoidable. Frey, specifically, was quick to call “bullshit” on self-defense claims.
“They are already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly – that is bullshit,” Frey, who also demanded that ICE leave the area “immediately,” said in a recent press conference.
At the Globes, Grande wasn’t the only one to use a pin to send a timely message. Mark Ruffalo, Jean Smart, Wanda Sykes, and Natasha Lyonne were all seen wearing “Be Good” pins in honor of 37-year-old Good.
“This is for her,” Ruffalo, nominated at the 2026 ceremony for his performance in Task, said in a red carpet interview on Sunday. “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. It’s just not.”
Awards shows have often been the site of urgent calls to action in the past. At last year’s Emmys, Hacks star Hannah Einbinder tucked in both “Fuck ICE” and “Free Palestine” in the closing moments of her acceptance speech.
