""It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good," he wrote, naming the two victims."
""The Trump Administration is focused on encouraging state and local Democrats to work with federal law enforcement officers on removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from their communities - not random songs with irrelevant opinions and inaccurate information.""
""Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice," The Boss sings. "Singing through the bloody mist/We'll take our stand for this land/And the stranger in our midst.""
Bruce Springsteen released "Streets of Minneapolis," dedicating it to Minneapolis residents and immigrant neighbors and memorializing Alex Pretti and Renee Good. The song's lyrics portray "a city aflame" and label federal immigration agents as "King Trump's private army." Springsteen said he wrote and recorded the track over a weekend after a second deadly shooting by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. The arrangement grows from acoustic guitar and voice to a full band with harmonica and ends with chants of "ICE Out!" A White House spokesperson criticized the song, and Billy Bragg released a related protest song inspired by Pretti.
