In the lyrics of "Streets of Minneapolis," Springsteen describes a city that found itself "under the boots of the occupier," referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) units deployed in the state. The musician openly calls these forces "King Trump's private army" and criticizes their methods of operation. According to the performer, he wrote and recorded the track over the weekend after the second fatal shooting involving federal agents, in which immigrants Alex Pretty and Rene Good died.

The artist called on the public to pay attention to the humanitarian consequences of mass deportations and violence on the city's streets.
White House reaction to the musical demarche
The presidential administration promptly reacted to the release of the song, calling it a fictional work that does not correspond to the real state of affairs. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson emphasized that the government is focused on removing dangerous criminals from communities, not on discussing the work of celebrities.
The Trump administration is focused on encouraging local governments to cooperate with law enforcement, not random songs with inappropriate thoughts and inaccurate information
Despite criticism from the authorities, the song has already gained significant popularity among supporters of opposition movements and residents of Minnesota.
