Bruce Springsteen has a message for immigration enforcement—an explicit one, at that. The Boss took the stage in his home state of New Jersey on Saturday, where he told ICE to “Get the f–- out of Minneapolis.” Springsteen, 76, delivered the remarks during a surprise performance in Red Bank at the Light of Day Winterfest benefit, where he dedicated his song, Promise Land—a hopeful tune about overcoming working-class struggles in America—to Renee Good, a mother of three who died after an ICE agent fired three shots into her car in Minneapolis. “We are living through incredibly critical times. The United States, the ideals and the values for which it stood for the past 250 years is being tested as it has never been in modern times,” he said to the crowd. “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, send a message to this president as the mayor of that city has said, ICE should get the f–k out of Minneapolis.”
