"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis, The Boss wrote on his website. It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Springsteen signed that introduction: Stay free."
"Good and Pretti were shot dead by federal officers in Minneapolis where citizens have spent nearly three weeks protesting the activities of masked ICE and Border Patrol officers. Both killings garnered national attention as video evidence seems to contradict messaging coming from Trump administration officials. In his new song, Springsteen addresses Miller and Noem's dirty lies in reference to claims made by White House advisor Stephen Miller and Department of Homeland Sec. Kristi Noem."
"Springsteen's upbeat new anthem features his signature grainy voice accompanied by an acoustic guitar intro, rolling keyboards, and a harmonica solo. Oh, our Minneapolis, I hear your voice, singing through the bloody mist, we'll take our stand for this land and the stranger in our midst, he growls in the song's chorus. Here in our home they killed and roamed in the winter of '26. We'll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis."
Bruce Springsteen released an upbeat protest song titled Streets of Minneapolis in direct response to state violence in Minneapolis. The song is dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, innocent immigrant neighbors, and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were shot dead by federal officers during nearly three weeks of protests against masked ICE and Border Patrol activity. The song criticizes White House advisor Stephen Miller and Department of Homeland Security official Kristi Noem for spreading false claims and attacks the Trump administration as corrupt and treasonous. The arrangement features acoustic guitar, rolling keyboards, harmonica, and Springsteen's grainy vocals that memorialize the victims.
