The song, titled "Streets of Minneapolis" has Springsteen singing about "King Trump's private army from the DHS," with the chorus line "Here in our home they killed and roamed / In the winter of '26, we'll remember the names of those who died / On the streets of 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 said Wednesday. "It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renée Good. Stay free."

She Thinks It Has Plenty to Say About ICE Actions in Minnesota Springsteen is the latest in a growing list of celebrities who've voiced their disapproval of ICE's actions in Minneapolis, joining the likes of Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. Springsteen himself has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump for years, and the two were in a notable war of words last year, with Springsteen criticizing the president on stage before Trump called him a "dried up prune of a rocker." Springsteen hasn't seemed to care, saying in an interview last September that Trump is "the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
