The Dublin-based rock band U2 just released a tribute song dedicated to Renee Good, the anti-ICE activist who was killed during an altercation with ICE officers in Minneapolis last month.
The song “American Obituary,” part of the six-track EP “U2 Days of Ash,” debuted on Wednesday, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/02/19/us-news/u2-american-obituary-song-invokes-renee-nicole-good-ice-shooting-in-days-of-ash-ep/">The New York Post</a>. 
“Renee Good born to die free/American mother of three/ Seventh day January/ A bullet for еach child, you see,” the lyrics say in part.
“The color of her eyе/ 930 Minneapolis/ To desecrate domestic bliss/ Three bullets blast, three babies kissed/ Renee the domestic terrorist???”
The refrain says: “What you can’t kill can&#8217;t die/ America will rise/ Against the people of the lie/ I love you more/ Than hate loves war.”
U2 lead singer Bono <a href="https://propaganda.u2.com/">described</a> the new release as a “song of fury… but more than that a song of grief” in a statement <a href="https://propaganda.u2.com/">published</a> on the band’s digital fanzine, which is called “Propaganda.”
“Not just for Renee but for the death of an America that at the very least would have had an inquiry into her killing… for her family as well as the credibility of law enforcement and the critical role they play in keeping the peace, keeping the citizenry safe,” the singer said. 
He also tried to explain why he, an Irishman, is involving himself in American politics.
“U2’s been banging on about America most of our artistic life… this is a country we love and has loved us back. Amazingly,” Bono said. “Americans for the most part have given U2 and me in particular permission to mouth off… And on this stuff I think people know that I’ve been an equal opportunity pest on the left as well as the right.”
Despite these attempts to justify the song, the Irish recording artist got blasted on social media.
“It appears Ireland has stronger illegal immigration laws than the U.S. Maybe U2 could sing a song about that,” an X user <a href="https://x.com/clayton_be61039/status/2024288299825668277">replied</a>.
“As an American, I can comfortably say, I don’t give a sh** what any band thinks…especially a foreign band,” another commenter <a href="https://x.com/TexasExec16/status/2024308019928990078">agreed</a>.
“No songs dedicated to all the victims killed by illegal aliens …. Hmmm,” another <a href="https://x.com/Antillothegreat/status/2024288247870812644">observed</a>.
This is the second recently released mainstream “protest song” dedicated to anti-ICE sentiment. Far-left activist singer Bruce Springsteen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bruce-springsteen-releases-cringe-protest-song-about-minneapolis">released</a> “Streets of Minneapolis” in January after spending one day writing it. That song was also mocked online.
