Jerry Nadler Suggests Americans Would Be ‘Justified’ Shooting Masked Attackers in Rant Against Trump’s ‘ICE Goons’
Mediaite ^ | 02/03/2026 | Sean James

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) argued Americans would be “justified” shooting ICE agents if they believed they were “masked hoodlums” attacking them — and not one of the government’s “goons,” as he put it.

The Democratic lawmaker made the eyebrow-raising statement during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

“If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped. You would be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself,” Nadler said. He said President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration has spurred “fascism in our streets.”

Nadler then pointed to the recent shooting death of Renee Good as one example of ICE agents attacking citizens for doing nothing wrong.

“We see people being shot, for what? For driving a car?” Nadler asked.

As a hypothetical, if someone were to suggest that it would be justified to shoot Jerry “the goon” Nadler, he’d cry “antisemitism” and demand protection from the Secret Service and the National Guard.

I’m beginning to think that Nadler and people of his ilk want to start a civil war.

Holy cow. This would bring being a useful idiot to a whole new level. Hey Jerry, why don’t you for the first shot and see what happens? 🤣

Interesting that I hear so many newsy type people sympathizing with Savanah Guthrie over the abduction of heroes (and rightly so) saying things like, "I can't imagine what I'd do if that was my mother", and variations of that sentiment but they don't give a sh*t about the children of parents killed by illegals .

Arschlöcher.

So by his own words, the antifa ID checkpoint roadblock would be justifiably lit up by patriots?

I’ve felt that since oh I don’t know, 2016? It’s just that we’re only now approaching that intersection.

Sadly this is what these pieces of shit truly think about law enforcement in general. Weve seen it again and again. Its always the criminals as victims and the law as the bad guys.

Nadler did not “suggest” you would be justified. He flat out said you “would” be justified.

All masked attackers are fair game. I’m surprised antifa hasn’t been shot or stabbed yet.

Was Jerry a Adler suggesting that when antifa were running around in masks?

We are presently in a civil war.

The radical leftist have come very close to taking total control of what is American

Conservatives place too high a value on progressive lives and will not ever consider killing them. America was very nearly lost because of apathy

Oh yeah, then they can blame us for it, and the press will oblige them & support that lying narrative. However, masked men who are clearly marked as ICE agents, and they are also being identified by their harrasers makes Nadler comment as disingenuous as it was intended, because he knows that no one is mistaking these agents as criminals attacking them without any reason.

They are all only protecting criminals, and they need to be called out continuously for that, and shamed byt the people..

So you are okay if someone said that it is justified to shoot Barry Obama, am I correct?

Nadler and his goons want to make up their own laws, therefore the citizens would be justified in their actions.

What would happen if you replaced ICE with IRS?
