Bruce Springsteen has turned his focus to the city of Minneapolis with his latest song, which critiques President Donald Trump’s immigration policies in the area.

The track, titled “Streets of Minneapolis,” was unveiled on Wednesday. It paints a vivid picture of a metropolis under siege, describing how “a city aflame fought fire and ice ’neath an occupier’s boots,” a reference to what Springsteen dubs “King Trump’s private army.”

Springsteen shared that he penned and recorded the song over the weekend, motivated by the recent fatal shooting involving federal immigration officers in Minneapolis.

“This is for the people of Minneapolis, for our innocent immigrant neighbors, and in remembrance of Alex Pretti and Renee Good,” he stated, acknowledging the two individuals who lost their lives.

The song starts with a simple acoustic guitar and vocals, gradually evolving into a full band arrangement, complete with a harmonica solo, and concludes with the powerful chant, “ICE Out!”

“Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice,” The Boss sings. “Singing through the bloody mist/We’ll take our stand for this land/And the stranger in our midst.”

The title echoes Springsteen’s “Streets of Philadelphia,” which served as a title song for the Tom Hanks-led 1993 film “Philadelphia.”

Springsteen has long been critical of the president, who in turn has called the rock icon “overrated.” They last publicly clashed last year, when Springsteen on tour in England told his audience that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.” Trump responded by calling Springsteen a “dried out prune of a rocker.”
