Senator Ted Cruz has recently introduced the Stop Funders Act, which aims to add rioting as a predicate offense to RICO, and the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, to impose sanctions on Nigerian officials who facilitate violence against Christians. He has also spoken out against antisemitism, emphasizing the need to confront it, and has been endorsed by former Acting US Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf for his legislation.
