On Saturday, Bruce Springsteen stopped his show to call out what he called the “Gestapo tactics” of Trump’s administration’s ICE and said the country’s founding values “have never been as endangered as they are right now”.
Springsteen told the crowd, which responded with loud cheers:
“If you believe in democracy, in liberty, if you believe truth still matters, and it’s worth speaking out, and it’s worth fighting for; if you believe in the power of the law and that no-one stands above it; if you stand against heavily armed masked federal troops invading an American city, using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens; if you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, then send a message to this president. As the mayor of that city has said: ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
He then dedicated ‘The Promised Land’ to Renee Good, the 37-year-old woman and mother who was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minnesota.
