Bruce Springsteen performed at First Avenue in Minneapolis as a special guest for the "Concert of solidarity & resistance to defend MN!". The event, announced on Wednesday, also featured Tom Morello, members of Rise Against, Al Di Meola, and Ike Reilly. The concert was held in support of immigration rights and in opposition to ICE operations in Minnesota. Find more photos like this on my Operation Metro Surge: Ice in Minneapolis page.
