Overview
- Springsteen made the unannounced appearance at Light of Day Winterfest at the Count Basie Center in Red Bank, New Jersey, performing a roughly 75-minute set.
- Onstage he urged the crowd to "send a message to this president" and said ICE should "get the fuck out of Minneapolis."
- He criticized "heavily armed masked federal troops" in U.S. cities and described their actions as "Gestapo tactics."
- He dedicated "The Promised Land" to Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three fatally shot on Jan. 7 by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis.
- DHS maintains the agent acted in self-defense as protests continue and Minnesota leaders, including the Minneapolis mayor and the governor, call for ICE to end its presence in the city.
