Washed-Up Rocker Bruce Springsteen Dedicates Song to Renee Good, Denounces ‘Gestapo Tactics’ of ICE Agents

Bruce Springsteen used his Saturday night performance at the Light of Day festival in New Jersey to sharply criticize President Trump and his administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.

During the show, Springsteen dedicated a song to Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three who was killed during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis earlier this month. The incident occurred amid a broader immigration crackdown by the Trump administration and has sparked protests and controversy nationwide.

Addressing the crowd, Springsteen said:

“So as we gather tonight in this beautiful display of love and care and thoughtfulness and community.
If you believe in democracy, in liberty. If you believe that truth still matters, and that 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 American cities, and 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.”

There are now so many videos showing what happened in Minneapolis and they debunk every single leftist narrative about this shooting:

Springsteen went on to echo criticism from Minneapolis city leaders, declaring that Immigration and Customs Enforcement should leave the city. He closed the dedication by honoring the memory of Renee Good.

The Trump administration has defended the actions of ICE agents involved in the incident, stating that the officer acted in self-defense. Critics, however, including local officials and civil rights groups, dispute that account and argue the enforcement operation was excessive and poorly handled.

Springsteen has been an outspoken critic of President Trump for years. In a past interview, he described Trump’s presidency as “an American tragedy,” blaming economic dislocation and wealth inequality for creating conditions he says allowed a political demagogue to rise. He also used harsh language to describe the president personally.

Meanwhile, Springsteen’s recent biopic — which chronicled his life and music career — failed to connect with audiences. The film reportedly lost money after falling short of its $55 million production budget.
