Advertisement Springsteen can also be heard saying: “They’re removing residents off America’s streets and without due process and are deporting them to foreign detention centres and prisons,” in the video. According to the Asbury Park Press, Springsteen authorised usage of his music video, various snippets of live footage, as well as narration from recent concerts in which he criticised Donald Trump’s immigration policies. It comes after Springsteen recently gave his anti-ICE protest song ‘Streets Of Minneapolis‘ its live debut during a surprise appearance at a benefit show hosted by Tom Morello. The concert organised by Rage Against The Machine’s Morello promised Minnesota locals a show of “solidarity and resistance” in the wake of the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were both shot and killed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on separate occasions in recent weeks. Recommended Pretti was killed on January 24 after he was shot 10 times in five seconds by an ICE officer. Both Good and Pretti were US citizens, and the latter had been involved in the protests unfolding in the wake of Good’s death. The Trump Administration recently hit out at The Boss over what it branded the “irrelevant” song, with a spokesperson for the White House sharing a statement condemning it. “The Trump administration is focused on encouraging state and local Democrats to work with federal law enforcement officers on removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from their communities – not random songs with irrelevant opinions and inaccurate information,” spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Hollywood Reporter. Other artists and celebrities who have spoken out include Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Green Day, Neil Young, Moby, Zara Larsson, musician and Stranger Things star Joe Keery, Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal, Duran Duran, Dave Matthews and more.
