SANCTUARY PAT RYAN MAKES HUDSON VALLEY COMMUNITIES LESS SAFE
“I’m here today to sign an executive order directing Ulster County government to not coordinate with ICE or any other federal immigration entity.”
–Pat Ryan, June 26, 2019
Under Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Sanctuary Pat Ryan, every town has become a border town.
Here in the Hudson Valley, thousands of miles away from our Southern border, migrant crime has rocked our communities. Not only has Pat Ryan refused to act to make our communities safer, he proudly supports the open border and sanctuary policies that have made our lives less safe.

In 2019, as county executive, Ryan signed an executive order that barred any county agency from cooperating with ICE officers trying to track down illegal immigrants. Ryan is on record saying he would “stand in solidarity with our immigrant communities and oppose coordination with ICE agents in Ulster County.”
