Bruce Springsteen released a new song, "Streets of Minneapolis," dedicated to the people of Minneapolis and criticizing President Trump's immigration enforcement policies. The song, written and recorded over the weekend, references recent deadly shootings by federal immigration agents in the city. Springsteen's lyrics describe the city's struggle against "King Trump's private army," referencing ongoing immigration operations. He dedicated the song to the city's immigrant community and in memory of two victims, Alex Pretti and Renee Good. A White House spokesperson responded by stating the administration is focused on removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens and dismissed the song as irrelevant.
