Earlier this month, The Horn News brought you the story when an angry mob of far-left activists arrived outside of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home.
She caved to the liberal protesters’ demands.

Encouraged by their success, the Sunrise Movement activist group struck again — this time at the home of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-T.X.
But in Texas — not San Francisco — the stunt was handled much differently.
The liberal activist group reportedly marched from New Orleans to Houston, to confront the veteran Texas senator. The trek — starting at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome where the New Orleans Saints play — ook 40 days and the travelers went more than 400 miles.
Their goal?
Confront Cruz at his house over their concerns involving climate change.
More specifically, the group is protesting Biden’s negotiations with Republicans in favor of embracing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ “Climate Civilian Corps Plan.”

About 50 @sunrisemvmt protesters outside of Ted Cruz Houston home today demanding Biden stop negotiations with the GOP and pass @AOC civilian climate corps plan. A few are on the lawn as the crowd sings “Whose side are you on?”

While police say that the protest was largely peaceful, there were a few there who refused to leave and chose to be arrested.
“The large majority of the group are extremely peaceful out there expressing the First Amendment rights (to) protest against climate change,” Assistant Police Chief Ban Tien reportedly told the National Review. “Unfortunately, there was a small group who [was] actually committing trespassing into private property in front of the senator’s residence.”

“Roughly eight individuals still refused to leave and we finally gave one final warning,” he continued.
“We explained to them the fact that they were violating a trespassing law. They acknowledged they understood and they chose to be arrested.”
URGENT: 8 Sunrisers were arrested protesting on @tedcruz's lawn to demand that Biden stop negotiating away our futures with the GOP.
