He’s flying back at 4 and probably anticipates people being meanies to him at the airport.

What I saw was for his departure. I'm not sure if there will be police for his arrival today.

.... jaunt to Cancun was causing and if he intended to run for president in 2024 it was best he got his ass back to Texas during the catastrophic state winter storm shutdown.

Soaking up the sunshine on a beach on some out of the country resort area might not play in the press nicely for Cruz.

So Cruz hightailed back here and blamed the beach vaca party on his daughters and the family dog.

I think he requested Houston Police protect him to get home FROM the airport after he returned from Cancun.

Once the word got out that he had gone to Mexico, he was that some of his constituents might spot him in the airport and be MEAN to him.

Poor baby.

He can afford to hire his own security if he thinks he needs it. He can call up his chapter of proud boys or oath keepers.
