Bruce Springsteen, the legendary rock star, has just dropped a new protest song. It's called "Streets of Minneapolis. " This song is all about two people who lost their lives in Minneapolis. Their names are Alex Pretti and Renee Good. They were shot by U. S. Customs and Border Protection agents and an ICE agent, respectively.
Springsteen wrote this song to honor them and to speak out against the aggressive immigration raids happening in Minneapolis. He believes these raids have created a "state of terror" in the city. The song talks about how locals are standing up against these raids. They're using whistles and phones to record what's happening. They're even facing rubber bullets and smoke to do this.
In the song, there's a powerful line: "ICE out now! " This shows the strong feelings people have about ICE's actions. The song also mentions Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, who are big figures in Trump's administration. They've been criticized for their roles in these immigration policies.
After Pretti's shooting, Noem and Miller made some serious claims. They said Pretti had a gun and tried to hurt federal agents. But videos from bystanders proved these claims were false. The White House didn't take this song lightly. They said it's just a "random song with irrelevant opinions and inaccurate information. "
This isn't the first time Springsteen has used his music to criticize Trump. He's known for his songs about police brutality, mistreatment of veterans, and working-class struggles. His 2001 song "American Skin (41 Shots)" is about the killing of Amadou Diallo by New York police.
The new song ends with a strong message. It says we'll remember the names of those who died in Minneapolis. You can hear protesters chanting in the background. This song is a call to action and a reminder of the ongoing fight for justice.
