U.S. Senator Tom Cotton joins Ryan for a wide-ranging and urgent conversation on the escalating attacks against ICE agents, the growing role of activist NGOs in obstructing federal law enforcement, and the shocking Somali fraud scandal that has rocked Minneapolis.

Cotton explains why federal authority must override local obstruction when ICE is targeted, including the possible use of National Guard or active-duty troops to protect officers enforcing immigration law. He also details his new Senate legislation to denaturalize fraudsters who exploited America’s immigration system while stealing billions in taxpayer funds.

The discussion expands to the national security risks posed by unassimilated migrant communities, the failure of chain migration, and Cotton’s long-standing push for a merit-based immigration system that prioritizes English proficiency, education, and economic contribution.

Ryan and Senator Cotton also examine Venezuela’s role in fueling illegal migration through human trafficking networks, cartel activity, and Maduro’s weaponization of migration against the United States—and how Trump-era policies are reversing that damage.
