- Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are commencing their “Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour” in Minneapolis.
- The tour is designed to be political and topical, focusing on current events in the United States, particularly federal immigration enforcement.
- Springsteen's song “Streets of Minneapolis,” released in late January, commemorates the city's resistance to a federal immigration crackdown that led to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
- The song's video illustrates the federal operation, showing masked agents and public protests, including “ICE Out!” chants.
- The tour will visit other cities impacted by immigration enforcement, such as Portland and Los Angeles, before concluding in Washington DC, where Springsteen intends to address the administration.
