White House Responds to Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-ICE Anthem

The Trump administration rejected Bruce Springsteen’s claims in the protest song, emphasizing efforts to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens, White House said.

  • On Jan 30 the White House publicly dismissed Bruce Springsteen's protest song as irrelevant and inaccurate, with Abigail Jackson issuing the response to Variety and Entertainment Weekly.
  • Springsteen said he wrote the song on Saturday and recorded it on Tuesday, creating it in response to the 'state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis.'
  • Just this morning, Springsteen released a lyric video directed by Thom Zimny, mixing studio shots with on-the-ground footage and crediting Pam Springsteen for production footage.
  • The White House framed the exchange by urging media to report that `The media should cover how Democrats have refused to work with the Administration, and instead, opted to provide sanctuary for these criminal illegals,` emphasizing cooperation with federal law enforcement.
  • Amid broader unrest, American singer-songwriters and the Singing Resistance have protested ICE enforcement, as at least 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025.
