Sen. Cruz Leads GOP Effort to Block FCC’s Wi-Fi Hotspots Order

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2025 – Senate Commerce Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was joined by  12 other committee Republican senators Monday to challenge the Federal Communications Commission’s Wi-Fi Hotspot Order instated under the Biden Administration.

Taking down the rule by using the Congressional Review Act would “nullify a partisan FCC order that violates federal law, creates major risks for kids’ online safety, harms parental rights, and will increase taxes on working families,” a Committee press release said.

If the CRA reaches the Senate floor, it can’t be stopped by a filibuster.
