Bruce Springsteen performed his fiercest protest song in years during his 18-stop tour in Minneapolis, which began after the Trump administration deployed roughly 3,000 federal officers to Minneapolis for the largest immigration enforcement action in the country. Springsteen's performance at the Target Center in Minneapolis was seen as among the most unflinching acts of musical and theatrical resistance against the president in history. The song "Born in the U.S.A." was initially co-opted by President Ronald Reagan for his reelection message and has since become a rallying cry for a growing resistance movement.
