Patrick Ryan will work with Democrats and Republicans to secure the border.
Occurrences
Evidence
The page says Ryan is pushing fentanyl bills, says border agents and local law enforcement need more resources, and says he will keep fighting to stop illicit fentanyl crossing the border.
Ryan said the fentanyl fight is not partisan, said he was joined by a bipartisan group of local leaders, and urged increased DHS funding to combat trafficking at ports of entry.
Ryan redirected $42,800 from ICE-contractor donors to an immigrant-support fund and said he has repeatedly voted against DHS funding while pushing for Noem's impeachment.
Assessments
Ryan has documented same-term efforts to work across party lines on border-adjacent enforcement, including joining bipartisan local leaders and urging more DHS resources to stop fentanyl trafficking at ports of entry. That supports the claim that he made some bipartisan effort on border security. But the record provided does not show a completed bipartisan federal border-security outcome, and more recent immigration-related actions cut against a clear finding that he fully delivered on 'secure the border.'
