Bruce Springsteen, fresh from playing the No Kings protest in the city of Minneapolis, is launching his new tour from the city that became ground zero for fighting back against federal immigration policies.
‘The Boss’ released ‘Streets of Minneapolis’ after the death of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE.
“This tour is going to be political and very topical about what’s going on in the country,” Springsteen told the Minnesota Star Tribune. “Minneapolis and St. Paul, that was the place that I wanted to begin it, and I wanted to end it in Washington.”
“This past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis,” Springsteen told a crowd estimated by the Minnesota State Patrol to be 100,000 people. “Well, they picked the wrong city. The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis, of Minnesota, was an inspiration to the entire country. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America, and this reactionary nightmare, and these invasions of American cities will not stand.”
