Bruce Springsteen has released a protest song – “Streets Of Minneapolis” – denouncing the violence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis.
“I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis,” Springsteen wrote on social media.
“It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free.”

From NPR:
“Streets of Minneapolis” is a full-band rock and roll song, complete with an E Street Choir singalong.
Springsteen’s raw and raspy voice is full of indignation as he calls out “King Trump” and his “federal thugs,” and promises to remember the events unfolding in the streets of Minneapolis this winter.
The verses narrate the killings of Good and Pretti respectively, and underline how eyewitness videos of their deaths contradict government officials’ statements.
The Boss shows he still knows how to connect to the human experience. Here’s the official lyric video for the song.
