AUSTIN, Texas – After getting caught by Texans jetting off to Cancun amid a deadly freeze, Ted Cruz has made it a top priority to pass legislation that would allow him to have a private escort through airports. When the Dallas Morning News reached out to Cruz for a comment on his efforts he “did not return The Watchdog’s call for comment.”

Dallas Morning News: Ted Cruz gets liftoff on his escort-through-the-airport bill. Now he hopes to land it

By Dave Lieber

• Senator Ted Cruz is one step closer to his dream law to force law enforcement officers to give top national officials a private escort past airport security.

• Cruz introduced language into the Federal Aviation Administration’s funding bill. Yet despite some derision against him, the language remains in the bill.

• During the ice storm of 2021, while millions of Texans were freezing in their homes, Cruz was seen aboard his flight leaving from Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport, en route to Cancun.

• He was blistered by critics so badly that he returned to the U.S. after one night.

• Cruz’s office did not return The Watchdog’s call for comment.

• Cruz’s language could be struck out by other members.
