The clip, which you can view below, shows footage of The Boss recently calling for ICE to “get the fuck out of Minneapolis”, before it shows several victims that have been arrested by ICE agents in recent months and highlights the death of Renee Good who was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on January 7.

According to the Asbury Park Press, Springsteen authorised usage of his music video, various snippets of live footage, as well as narration from recent concerts in which he criticised Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Bruce Springsteen's beloved song Born In The USA has reportedly been censored on UK radio, with a controversial phrase removed.

The 1984 song, which is considered to critique racism during the Vietman war, contains the phrase 'yellow man', seen as a derogatory term for an Asian person, The Daily Mail reports.

On the track, Springsteen sings: 'So they put a rifle in my hands, sent me off to a foreign land, to go and kill the yellow man, Born in the USA.'

 

According to The Sun, Absolute Radio will censor the phrase when the song is played on their station.

Born In The USA is one of Springsteen's best known songs and portrays a disillusioned Vietnam veteran's alienation after the war.

The track was ranked 275th on Rolling Stones' list of The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time.

Springsteen's album of the same name has sold over 30 million copies, making it one of the bestselling albums of all time.

Daily Mail has contacted Bauer Media, which owns Absolute Radio, for comment.

The censoring of Born In The USA comes after BBC Radio 2 changed the Spice Girls' 1997 song Spice Up Your Life which contains the lyric: 'Yellow man in Timbuktu'.

The station removed the word 'yellow' when they played the song.

Songs banned by the BBC for the strangest of reasons

For  The BBC  songs have been considered unbroadcastable for countless reasons.Here's some banned by.

Sources By Jeremy Allenders (BBC) and (BF) and other BBC staff Though offen have frequently breached rules on religious grounds, and because of drug references, profanity and attacks on the monarchy.

LOLA - THE KINKS by 

Written by singer Ray Davies, Lola is about a relationship between a man and a “woman” who turns out to be a transvestite.

 

 But it wasn’t this gender confusion that worried the BBC. The song was banned for including the words “coca-cola” which was against their policy on product placement.Davies had to interrupt the band’s American tour to fly back to London to re-record the lyric as “cherry-cola” for the single release.

Shirley Bassey – Burn My Candle

This was Welsh singer Shirley Bassey’s debut song when she was just 19 years old. However the word “sex” in the lyrics was considered too salacious and the song was banned by the BBC.This initial set back didn't do Shirley any harm: she's went to sell more that 135 million records over seven decades.

My Generation - The Who

Reason for banning: Possibly offensive to stutterers

Like The Smiths' How Soon Is Now? in the 80s and Pulp's Common People in the 90s, My Generation is a song that captures the youthful zeitgeist of its time and has become indelibly linked with the era that made it famous. The Who's turbocharged hit was the sound of mid-60s rebellion, and it was so dangerous the BBC decided to ban it.
