Bruce Springsteen Denounces ICE Amidst Red Bank Concert

RED BANK, New Jersey -- During a performance in Red Bank, New Jersey this weekend, rock legend and fierce Trump critic Bruce Springsteen had some choice words for the president regarding the situation in Minneapolis. "Get the F--- out of Minneapolis," Springsteen said. His comments mirror similar criticism he directed at the president during a tour last year. At the time, Trump responded calling Springsteen 'dumb as a rock' and a 'pushy, obnoxious jerk.' "If you believe you don't deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest...then send a message to this president, and as the mayor of that city has said, ICE should get the f--- out of Minneapolis.'" Springsteen added. It came as the Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active duty soldiers to be ready in case of a possible deployment to Minnesota, where federal authorities have been conducting a massive immigration enforcement operation. Two defense officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military plans, said Sunday that two infantry battalions of the Army's 11th Airborne Division have been given prepare-to-deploy orders if President Donald Trump invokes the 19th century Insurrection Act. The president suggested he might use it but then later walked back the threat. (The Associated Press contributed to this report.)
