MINNEAPOLIS – He was there in the 1980s to defend war veterans with "Born in the U.S.A."

He was there in the 1990s to spotlight the hardships of poverty with "The Ghost of Tom Joad."

He was there in the 2000s to soothe our souls after the unthinkable tragedy of Sept. 11 with "The Rising."

And now, Bruce Springsteen is there again, the staunchest voice in music condemning the actions of the Trump administration; writing a song – "Streets of Minneapolis" – to honor the lives of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents; playing No Kings rallies in the city; and starting a tour there as a bold statement.

"They picked the wrong town," Springsteen said from the stage of the Target Center about ICE. "The power and solidarity of Minneapolis, of Minnesota, is an inspiration to the entire country."
