The swamp creatures are at it again, squirming like worms on a hot sidewalk now that America’s finally getting serious about enforcing its laws. Jerry Nadler, that bloated beacon of leftist lunacy from New York, just dropped a bombshell in a House Judiciary Committee hearing that’s got everyone with a brain cell firing on all cylinders. In a rant that could only come from a guy who’s spent decades marinating in DC’s toxic echo chamber, Nadler basically greenlit the idea of popping off rounds at ICE agents if you mistake them for “masked hoodlums.” Yeah, you read that right—this is the kind of deranged drivel that’s supposed to pass for congressional wisdom in 2026.
JUST IN: Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler appears to suggest American citizens would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.

The Penguin’s Poisonous Tirade
Picture this: It’s February 3, 2026, and Nadler’s waddling up to the mic, foaming about “fascism in our streets” and “attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums.” He paints a picture of some dystopian nightmare where unidentified thugs are terrorizing the populace, then twists the knife by suggesting that if these “hoodlums” come at you, you’d be totally justified in blasting away to defend yourself. But here’s the kicker—he’s not talking about Antifa rioters or the usual suspects. No, he’s zeroing in on ICE agents, those brave men and women out there rounding up criminals and securing our borders under the Trump-Vance administration’s no-nonsense deportation push.
Nadler doubles down, implying these agents are hiding “misbehavior” behind their masks, like they’re some shadowy goon squad instead of federal law enforcement doing the job Congress itself mandated. This isn’t just hyperbole; it’s a direct shot across the bow at the folks risking their lives to clean up the mess left by years of open-border insanity. And let’s not forget the backdrop—this comes hot on the heels of a January 8, 2026, incident in Minnesota where an ICE officer defended himself against a protester named Renee Good who tried to run him over during an operation. Nadler and his ilk called that “murder,” but the facts show it was self-defense against a deranged leftist agitator.
Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed 700 percent since the crackdown began in 2025, with radicals egged on by blue-state governors and mayors turning routine ops into war zones. Nadler’s words aren’t just reckless; they’re rocket fuel for the violent fringes who’ve already turned cities like Los Angeles into riot playgrounds during immigration raids last June.
Vance Unleashes the Hillbilly Hammer
Enter Vice President JD Vance, the no-BS Marine vet who’s not about to let this slide. On February 3, right after Nadler’s idiocy hit the airwaves, Vance took to social media and tore into him like a chainsaw through butter. He called Nadler out as one of the top Democrats in the House, openly inciting violence against federal law enforcement. “This is despicable behavior from an elected official,” Vance blasted, predicting—correctly—that the leftist media would bury it faster than a cat covers its mess.
Jerry Nadler is one of the highest ranking Democrats in the House of Representatives and he is openly calling for people to shoot federal law enforcement.
This is despicable behavior from an elected official and I’m sure the leftwing media will cover it extensively. https://t.co/hmbV43h43H

Vance didn’t stop there. He’s been on a tear since the Minnesota shooting, slamming the press for lying about it and defending the agent who had no choice but to protect his life. Donald Trump Jr. piled on, labeling Nadler’s comments “demented,” and the backlash has been swift from conservatives who see this as the latest in a long line of Democrat attacks on border security. Remember, this is the same crew that smeared ICE as “Gestapo” and “deranged” back in 2025, inspiring a surge in attacks that put real heroes in the hospital.
What This Means for America’s Fight Ahead
Fast-forward to February, 2026, and Nadler’s stunt isn’t just a one-off gaffe—it’s a symptom of the left’s full-blown panic as the America First agenda rolls out. With mass deportations ramping up, targeting criminal aliens and overstayers, the radicals are losing their minds. They’ve got sanctuary cities shielding felons, protesters blocking operations, and now congressmen like Nadler essentially handing out hall passes for vigilante justice against the good guys.
Going forward, this could spark investigations into incitement—expect calls for Nadler to face the music, maybe even ethics probes in the House. It amps up the rhetoric, hardening the divide between patriots who want secure borders and the open-borders brigade who’d rather see chaos than enforcement. Polls show 62 percent of Americans back the deportation efforts, with even higher numbers among independents tired of the crime wave tied to unchecked migration.
But here’s the real takeaway: Nadler’s unhinged yap is a gift to the Trump-Vance team. It exposes the Democrats as the party of anarchy, willing to endanger law enforcement to protect their voter-import scheme. As ICE keeps grinding, racking up removals in the hundreds of thousands since January 20, 2025, expect more squeals from the swamp. America First means putting citizens before criminals, and if that makes Nadler and his pals lose their lunch, so be it. The adults are back in charge, and the cleanup’s just getting started.
