During the show, he dedicated his 1978 song “The Promised Land” to Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis earlier this month, NJ.com reported.

“I don’t want to be out of order tonight,” Springsteen, 76, told the crowd of roughly 1,500.

“I wrote this song as an ode to American possibility,” he said. “It’s about a beautiful but flawed country — the country we are and the country we could be.”

Springsteen declared Americans are “living through incredibly critical times,” saying the United States and the values it has stood for over the past 250 years are being tested as never before in modern history.

The “Born in the USA” singer then urged the audience to stand up to ICE and echo calls for the agency to leave Minneapolis.

“If you believe in the power of the law and that no one stands above it, if you stand against heavily armed, masked federal troops invading an American city using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens,” he said.

“If you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, then send a message to this president — ICE should get the f–k out of Minneapolis,” he said, repeating a call made by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Good’s death.

“This song is for you and the memory of American citizen and mother of three Renee Good,” Springsteen added, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Good was shot in the chest, arm, and head on the morning of Jan. 7 following a confrontation between demonstrators and federal agents on a residential block, according to reports.

Springsteen has long been vocal in his criticism of former President Donald Trump and has frequently aired his political views during concert appearances.

In May, the “Dancing in the Dark” rocker criticized Trump during concerts in Manchester, England, calling the administration “incompetent and treasonous.”

“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring,” Springsteen told the crowd.

Trump later fired back at the rocker, calling him “highly overrated.”

“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a foreign country to speak badly about the President of the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Never liked him, never liked his music, or his radical left politics — and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy. Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK,” Trump added.
