Springsteen Releases Protest Song Against ICE and Trump

On Wednesday, 28 January 2026, Bruce Springsteen released the protest‑song “Streets of Minneapolis,” a scathing critique of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and President Donald Trump. The track was written over the weekend in response to a second fatal shooting by ICE agents in Minneapolis on 24 January, during which two immigrant residents—Alex Pretti (23) and Renee Good (19)—were killed. Springsteen calls ICE “King Trump’s private army” and urges the city’s residents to “take our stand.” The musician recorded the song in a single session and announced it with a brief statement to social media. The White House spokesperson, Abigail Jackson, dismissed the track as “irrelevant” and “inaccurate.” The song blends acoustic guitar, harmonica, and a chant of “ICE Out!” at its climax.
