On February 3, 2026, Rep. Jerrold Nadler stunned viewers during a House Judiciary Committee hearing by suggesting Americans might be “justified” in shooting masked attackers — language he used while railing against what he called President Trump’s “ICE goons.” Fox News Outnumbered co-host Emily Compagno rightly called the remarks horrifying and urged congressional censure, and conservative voices across the country have joined her in demanding accountability. This is not lenient commentary; it crosses a line into excusing violence against federal law enforcement and must be confronted.
Make no mistake: Democrats who reflexively demonize law enforcement risk turning political disagreements into deadly consequences on our streets. Whether you support immigration enforcement or want reform, elected officials have a duty to calm passions, not inflame them by normalizing the idea that citizens can pick and choose when to shoot federal agents. Compagno’s call to censure is more than political theater — it’s a defense of the rule of law and a necessary rebuke to reckless rhetoric.
Context matters: the country has watched the fallout from the January 7, 2026, fatal shooting in Minneapolis and other chaotic scenes, and emotions are raw on all sides. Conservatives have consistently called for transparent investigations into those incidents while also defending the men and women who put their lives on the line to uphold the law. Turning those setbacks into a license for vigilante justice is anathema to conservative principles of order, safety, and due process.
It’s telling that Democrats respond to operational screw-ups or bad outcomes by abandoning support for law enforcement instead of pursuing policy fixes and oversight. We can demand better conduct from federal agencies and insist on accountability without handing a moral victory to radicals who chant “abolish ICE” and celebrate lawlessness. America doesn’t need lawmakers stoking hatred of agents carrying out court orders; we need reformers who strengthen oversight and restore public trust.
Conservative leaders and rank-and-file citizens should take Compagno’s plea seriously and press House leadership to hold Nadler to account. Censure is the appropriate tool when a member of Congress utters words that effectively justify violence against government personnel — the message must be clear that such rhetoric will not be tolerated. If Republicans falter now, they risk losing the argument over who truly stands for order, safety, and the rule of law.
Patriots who love their country must push back hard against any elected official who emotionally legitimizes attacks on federal agents. Vote with that memory in mind, demand accountability in Congress, and insist our leaders defend public servants while fixing the system where it fails. America’s future depends on whether we choose law and liberty or the chaos that comes when politicians condone violence.
