“This is happening now,” he added. “In my country, they have a sadistic joy in the pain that poses to loyal American workers, and they are rewinding the historic civil rights laws that have led to more just and multiple societies.
Springsteen also accused the government of reimbursing American universities of “not succumbing to their ideological demands.”
“They are removing residents from the streets of America and expelling them to foreign detention centers and prisons without a legitimate process in the law,” he said. “This is all happening now.

Then we all see what it will happen for him! ”
