Rock legend Bruce Springsteen released his new song 'Streets of Minneapolis', written in response to the deaths of two citizens in Minnesota. In this acoustic ballad, the musician denounces what he calls the 'state of terror' practiced by the Donald Trump administration and immigration agencies. Springsteen compared the methods of immigration agents to those of the Gestapo, calling them 'the king's private army'. The song is dedicated to Renee Good, who was shot by agents while protesting in her vehicle, and Alex Pretti, a nurse killed during a federal operation. 'Where there should have been mercy, there were traces of blood,' a line from the song reads. In closing, Springsteen calls on the community to 'defend the stranger among us' and promises that the names of the fallen will be remembered.
