Bruce Springsteen Releases New Song “Streets of Minneapolis”

HeadlineJan 29, 2026

Bruce Springsteen has released a new song called “Streets of Minneapolis” directly criticizing President Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. The lyrics cast ICE agents as “King Trump’s private army.” This is part of “Streets of Minneapolis”

Bruce Springsteen: “Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow dead
Their claim was self-defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies.”
