Neil Young<\/a> has\u00a0shared a new song, “Big Crime,” in opposition to President Donald Trump’s recent deployment of the National Guard and ICE agents in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n President Trump announced the deployment decision earlier this month, a move purportedly\u00a0intended to aid local law enforcement in controlling crime. According to reporting by The Hill<\/em><\/a>, since then nearly 1,200 people have been arrested.<\/p>\n On Wednesday evening, Young, a longtime critic of the Trump administration, performed a concert in Chicago with his Chrome Hearts band, where they played a new song titled “Big Crime.” Young then shared audio of the performance on his website<\/a>, along with lyrics to the song: “Don’t need no fascist rules \/ Don’t wan’t no fascist schools \/ There’s big crime in D.C. at the White House<\/em>.”<\/p>\n Though Young was born in Canada, he received U.S. citizenship<\/a> in early 2020 and has consistently voiced his disapproval of President Trump and many of his policies.<\/p>\n You can view fan-filmed footage of the performance below.<\/p>\n At present, it is unclear how long the National Guard will be working the streets of Washington D.C.<\/p>\n “We don’t want indefinitely to put National Guardsmen on the streets of our cities,” Vice President JD Vance told USA Today<\/em><\/a> on Aug. 27. “We just want to make those streets more safe.”<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0<\/b>Rockers Who Told President Trump to Stop Using Their Songs<\/a><\/p>\n President Trump\u00a0has also said that other U.S. cities may be targets for further federal policing, including Baltimore, New York City and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Though President Trump declared\u00a0a public crime emergency\u00a0on Aug. 11, it was reported<\/a> by the\u00a0U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Columbia in January of this year that violent crime in the nation’s capital had hit its lowest point in 30 years.<\/p>\n He’s one of rock’s most brilliant, confounding, defiant and frustrating artists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Michael Gallucci<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow Long Will the National Guard Deployment Last?<\/h3>\n
