The Big Bang Theory star Simon Helberg and his wife Jocelyn Towne made a statement at the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The actor held up a sign that read "Refugees welcome," while his wife wrote "Let them in" across her chest. They posed together on the red carpet with the signs, protesting the Immigration Ban that President Donald Trump put in place, banning refugees of seven nations from entering the United States.
