Music legend Bruce Springsteen, who’s a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, performed at the 2026 Light of Day Winterfest, held at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey and delivered strong message on the killing of Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old mother of three shot by an ICE agent.
During his unannounced performance, Springsteen performed his huge 1978 hit song The Promised Land, but before he started singing, he addressed the crowd saying, “I wrote this song as an ode to American possibility.
“Right now we are living through incredibly critical times. The United States, the ideals and the values for which it stood for the past 250 years, is being tested like it has never been in modern times. Those values and those ideals have never been as endangered as they are right now.”
He continued: “If you believe in the power of 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, if you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, then send a message to this president, as the mayor of the city said: ICE should get the f—k out of Minneapolis. This song is for you and the memory of the mother of three and an American citizen, Renee Good.”
The audience broke in applause and cheers.
Springsteen isn’t the sole celebrity who spoke against ICE following Good’s tragic killing. Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews and Duran Duran also criticized the latest incident.
Springsteen has expressed strong feelings against Donald Trump and his administration before.
In a June 2025 interview with The New York Times, the singer-songwriter spoke critically about the former president’s leadership and how his policies affected the nation’s social cohesion.
“It’s an American tragedy,” he said. “I think that it was the combination of the deindustrialization of the country and then the incredible increase in wealth disparity that left so many people behind. It was ripe for a demagogue. And while I can’t believe it was this moron that came along, he fit the bill for some people.”
