Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents? MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

We have reached a point where you can morally differentiate yourself from Mike “If you want to know what I believe, just read the Bible” Johnson simply by acknowledging that shooting unarmed priests in the head is bad. newrepublic.com/post/201757/...

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

At Bay Area protest, a second pastor is shot by federal agents with a pepper round, Oct 24, 2025

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue? MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos
