At a major rally in St Paul, singer Bruce Springsteen performed and praised the state’s spirit, calling Minnesota “an inspiration to the entire country”. He also paid tribute to Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were killed by federal immigration agents earlier in January, this year. “Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America, and this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand,” Springsteen said as per media reports.

Governor Tim Walz also criticised federal immigration actions and backed local communities. “When the wannabe dictator in the White House sent his untrained, aggressive thugs to do damage to Minnesota, it was you, Minnesota, who stood up for your neighbours, who stood up for decency, who stood up for kindness,” the governor said.

This marks the third wave of “No Kings” protests, as worries grow over fuel prices and a slowing economy. The latest protests come amid concerns over numerous challenges erupting due to the US strikes on Iran.
