Bruce Springsteen Unleashes Fury on ICE with Anti-Immigration Song Dedicated to Minneapolis
In a scathing response to the state-sanctioned terror being unleashed on Minneapolis, New Jersey rock legend Bruce Springsteen has released a powerful anti-immigrant song that eviscerates President Trump's "King Trump's private army from the DHS". The lyrics paint a vivid picture of unrest and chaos in the city, where "a city aflame fought fire and ice 'neath an occupier's boots".
The song is dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, who have been subjected to brutal killings by ICE agents, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Springsteen pays a somber tribute to the victims, singing about "bloody footprints / Where mercy should have stood / And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets". The lyrics are a searing indictment of the administration's policies, with Springsteen railing against what he calls the "state terror" being visited on the city.
This latest salvo from Springsteen comes as part of a long-standing pattern of criticizing President Trump and his policies. Earlier this month, he condemned the administration's "Gestapo tactics", warning that the nation's founding principles are under siege. Springsteen has been an outspoken critic of Trump since before his first term, labeling him a "terrible thing" that is undermining American democracy.
The musician has also paid tribute to Renee Good in recent performances, dedicating his classic song The Promised Land to her memory after she was fatally shot by an ICE officer. Springsteen's criticism of Trump and the administration has not gone unnoticed, with the president himself firing back at the rock legend, calling him "highly overrated" and a "pushy, obnoxious jerk".

, I mean who needs that kind of 'state terror' in any city? Minneapolis is already dealing with so much trauma on its streets, we shouldn't be seeing more violence from the people supposed to protect us. It's like Springsteen said it best - where's the mercy? And what's with the president calling Bruce out as a 'pushy, obnoxious jerk'? I think he's just mad because someone's speaking truth about his policies 
. We need more artists and activists standing up for people's rights, not less.
I'm literally shaking with rage right now!!! Bruce Springsteen is on FIRE 
and I am HERE. FOR. IT!!! 
He's always been my ultimate hero 
, speaking truth to power and standing up for what's right 
, but this latest song is NEXT LEVEL 
! The way he's calling out Trump and ICE for their brutal treatment of those in Minneapolis is just... wow 
. I'm so proud to be a fan of Bruce Springsteen and his music 
. He's not just a rockstar, he's a voice for the voiceless 
and we need more people like him in this world 
! Can't wait to see what else he comes out with next 
i've been listening to his music since i was a kid and now i'm actually crying in my bed because he's speaking truth to power. springsteen is literally a legend 
I'm so worried about what's happening in Minneapolis. The fact that ICE agents are using such brutal force is absolutely unacceptable 
. It's crazy that President Trump thinks he can just use his power to terrorize a city and get away with it 
. Springsteen has been speaking truth to power for years, and I love him for it 
. The government needs to start listening to the people, not just ignoring their pain and suffering 
. We need change now 
theres somethin special about springsteen hes not afraid 2 use his platform 2 speak out against injustice and hes been doin it 4 yrs now 
I mean, who else can make a song that's both a tribute to the victims and a scathing critique of Trump's policies? The lyrics are like, SO intense and emotional... it gives me CHILLS every time I listen to them 
And yeah, Trump has definitely got some NERVE firing back at Springsteen like that. Like, dude, you can't handle the truth! 
. btw, have you seen this graph showing the rise in hate crimes against immigrants since Trump took office? it's wild 
...like, i get it he's trying to help the people of minneapolis who were affected by ice brutality, but can't he just chill on the politics for once? 
he's always going on and on about how much he hates trump, and honestly, i think it's kinda same old same old 
...on one hand, you gotta respect his dedication to speaking truth to power, but on the other hand, can't he just focus on making some sick tunes instead? 
! It's crazy that people are still getting hurt by these agents. I mean, Minneapolis is already dealing with some tough issues like poverty and police brutality, but to have the government basically taking over and causing chaos on top of it all... that's just not right 
can't wait to give it a listen
i'm all about freedom of speech but come on bruce is speaking truth to power here and trump's response is just shady 
what's next? more cities getting invaded by "king trump's private army"? 
The song sounds super powerful and emotional - I can already imagine the crowd going wild when he performs it live. But what really gets me is how this is just another example of President Trump's government trying to silence dissenting voices. Newsflash: art and music aren't about being "on brand" or toeing the party line, they're about speaking truth to power! 
anyway, this song is a must listen if you're passionate about social justice and fighting against oppression
