Bruce Springsteen delivered a politically charged performance in Minneapolis on April 1, 2026, unveiling the song "Streets of Minneapolis" amid protests against ICE violence. The Land of Hopes and Dreams Tour opener saw the E Street Band and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello rally 18,000 fans to chant "ICE out now!" and condemn politicians like Noem and Miller. Springsteen framed the concert as a response to the killing of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, urging unity over division.
