Bruce Springsteen dedicates song to Renee Good, decries crackdown on immigrants during New Jersey performance
Bruce Springsteen lambasted the federal crackdown on immigrants during a performance Saturday, as he dedicated a song to the memory of Renee Nicole Good, who was killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Springsteen characterized federal law enforcement participating in the Trump administration’s crackdown as “heavily armed, masked federal troops invading an American city, using Gestapo tactics against their fellow citizens.” Springsteen was performing at Light of Day Winterfest at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank, New Jersey, Saturday night when he dedicated his 1978 song “The Promised Land” to Good’s memory, according to cellphone video from the performance shared by NJ.com. In the video, Springsteen said he wrote the song “as an ode to American possibility,” and added that the United States’ ideals and values are “being tested as it has never been in modern times.” He told the crowd he hoped his message would reach President Donald Trump. “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 told a supportive home state crowd, echoing the words of Mayor Jacob Frey. Good was behind the wheel of an SUV in a residential street when she was fatally shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross. Ross was near the front, driver’s side corner of Good’s vehicle when it began pulling away and he fired three rounds, killing the mother of three and setting off a firestorm of criticism. Cellphone video of the shooting showed Good turning the steering wheel away from Ross as she began to drive. Federal officials said the shooting was a defensive action in the face of a potentially deadly weapon, the SUV, moving in the officer’s direction. Ross walked away from the scene unassisted, video showed, but Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said he was later treated and released from a hospital after being struck by the vehicle. A DHS official told NBC News that Ross suffered internal bleeding, but did not elaborate on his injuries. Noem said shortly after the shooting that what Good had done was “domestic terrorism,” and Trump, without offering any evidence to support the claim, called Good and her partner “professional agitators.” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Frey, both Democrats, have been at odds with federal officials who have justified Good’s shooting. They have also questioned why the FBI has cut out local authorities from the investigation into the shooting. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded to Springsteen’s criticism in a statement first published by The New York Times. “Unfortunately for Bruce, no one cares about his bad political opinions,” Jackson said. “And if he actually believed in ‘the power of the law,’ he would understand that criminal illegal aliens should be deported, that impeding federal law enforcement operations is a crime, and that officers have a right to act in self defense if an individual is using their car as a deadly weapon.” The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.

Bills fire head coach Sean McDermott; Could Miami pivot their search?
The Buffalo Bills lost in the divisional round of the playoffs on Saturday. On Monday, they became the tenth team making a head coaching change this offseason when they fired Sean McDermott. The Bills are retaining general manager Brandon Beane, who will lead the team’s search for a new head coach. McDermott has spent nine season with the Bills, compiling a 98-50 regular season record and an 8-8 postseason mark. He led the Bills to five straight AFC East division titles from 2020 through 2024 and missed the playoffs one time in his tenure with the team. His time with the Bills ends with him 16 wins behind Marv Levy as the team’s all-time winningest coach. McDermott immediately enters a head coaching carousel that has already seen the New York Giants hire John Harbaugh and the Atlanta Falcons sign Kevin Stefanski. The Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Las Vegas Raiders, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Tennessee Titans are all looking for a head coach, with Buffalo now added to the list. Could the Dolphins pivot their search? The Dolphins need to be working the phones this morning. The team is scheduled to hold three in-person interviews today and could have a new head coach by the end of the day if McDermott does not factor into their plans. Miami is expected to interview Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, and Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley on Monday. Hafley is widely considered the favorite to land the job, reuniting him with former Packers vice president of player personnel and new Miami general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. They could look to move quickly on Monday, if Hafley is their top target, to prevent him from taking an interview on Tuesday with the Tennessee Titans. McDermott’s sudden entrance into the coaching carousel could throw a curveball into Miami’s plans, however. Could the Dolphins land their former division rival as their new head coach? Would McDermott be interested in rebuilding a Miami franchise that faces his old team twice a year? The Dolphins need to find out if there is interest before they make any move with Hafley.
