Actor Peter Dinklage took the stage at a public gathering to deliver a dramatic reading of a politically charged poem honoring Renee Good, a 37-year-old ICE agitator who was fatally shot after using her vehicle to strike a federal agent. The poem, titled “For Renee Nicole Good, Killed by ICE on January 7, 2026,” was written by Amanda Gorman and steeped in activist imagery.
Dinklage opened his reading with a somber tone: “They say she is no more, that there her absence roars, blood-blown like a rose, iced wheels flinched & froze.” The Game of Thrones star continued with emotionally charged lines about riots, candles, and “pure howling of hymns.” His performance appeared meant to galvanize support among activists following a series of confrontations between ICE agents and protestors across the country.
Renee Good had reportedly been protesting immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis when she struck an officer with her vehicle. She was then fatally shot by the federal agent. Despite the violent nature of the incident, some celebrities have painted Good as a martyr. Dinklage’s reading ended with a flourish: “Our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone, when they forever are so fiercely Good,” before he stormed off stage.
Dinklage joins a growing list of left-wing celebrities reacting to the recent ICE-involved shootings. Singer Rosanne Cash recently lashed out at fans who support the Trump administration, telling them to unfollow her. Actress Eva Longoria made the incendiary claim that ICE agents are “blatantly murdering U.S. citizens.”
Actor Giancarlo Esposito, best known for his role as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, called for a “revolution,” downplaying potential mass casualties as a price for change. “They’ll kill 500, 50 million, or however [many], but the rest of us would survive,” he said.
As federal agents face increased resistance, the rhetoric from celebrities and activists continues to escalate — turning tragic incidents into flashpoints for broader ideological battles.
