US singer Bruce Springsteen says he wrote his new song 'Streets of Minneapolis' in response to what he called 'state terror'

American rock hero Bruce Springsteen dived into the outrage over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown with a fiery song released Wednesday that pays tribute to two protesters fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Springsteen said the song "Streets of Minneapolis" was a response to "state terror" in the northern US city, rocked by the actions of armed federal officers that have stoked vociferous local protests.
