“Multiple prominent celebrities have denounced ICE and Trump, with Billie Eilish and Hannah Einbinder both condemning them in recent acceptance speeches at the Golden Globes and Grammys, respectively. The first artist to respond with art directly inspired by the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good was music legend Bruce Springsteen. The last week of January, Springsteen released ‘Streets of Minneapolis,’ his first original song in over five years, and a fiery screed condemning both the ICE agents that murdered Pretti and Good as well as the authoritarian President that put them on those streets to begin with. The song is notable for both its bluntness and its directness, mentioning Trump by name in its opening verse.” (02/25/26)
