Ted Cruz with the strongest GOP comments yet against what Carr did on Kimmel. Calls it “dangerous as hell” and “right out of ‘Goodfellas.’” “They will silence us,” said Cruz. “They will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly.” https://t.co/ik9igOMvTu

It’s hard to overstate just how well deserved this is. Eric’s pensive and thorough reporting is just going to knock it out of the park. Plus, who better than a Miami Cuban to be the first @POLITICO DHS reporter in the Trump era. Follow Eric.
Some personal news: I’m taking on a new role at POLITICO covering the Department of Homeland Security. Very excited to dive into the nitty-gritty of immigration policy and its role in America’s national security toolbox.
