Springsteen to perform at ‘No Kings’ rally in Minnesota

Bruce Springsteen performed his protest anthem 'Streets of Minneapolis' at the national No Kings rally, part of a coordinated day with over 9 million participants nationwide, organizers said.

  • On Saturday, March 28, tens of thousands gathered at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul for the No Kings national flagship rally, featuring rock icon Bruce Springsteen alongside Senator Bernie Sanders, actress Jane Fonda, and folk singer Joan Baez protesting federal immigration enforcement.
  • The demonstration responded to Operation Metro Surge, a federal immigration crackdown that brought 3,000 ICE agents into Minnesota; organizers say the operation resulted in the deaths of residents Alex Pretti and Renee Good during the winter.
  • Springsteen performed "Streets of Minneapolis," joined by Sanders, Fonda, and Baez as part of the Capitol program following three noon marches that converged for a 2 p.m. rally featuring local and national leaders.
  • Described as a "national flagship" for more than 3,000 similar protests nationwide, the St. Paul event amplified pressure on the administration regarding immigration policies and alleged authoritarianism, organizers said.
  • Springsteen's Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour launches Tuesday at Minneapolis' Target Center, extending the No Kings movement's visibility and sustaining momentum for civic engagement beyond the St. Paul rally.
