Eight people have been arrested for trespassing during a climate change protest outside Ted Cruz's Houston home.

Around 70 activists staged a demonstration outside the Texas senator's $2million property in the ritzy River Oaks neighborhood on Monday morning, before police were called to the scene.

The protest was held by the Sunrise Movement, an organization advocating for political action on climate change, with video showing some of the participants sitting on Cruz's front lawn and refusing to budge.

Police negotiated with some of the activists for more than an hour and threatened to take them into custody if they did not get off Cruz's property.

Eight of the protesters refused to yield and were arrested.

Why is it important on the value of his home anyway in the headline?

Think someone writing article has some bias?

I don't recall the protests surrounding Pelosi's SF home last year had her home value reported, and it for sure was several times what Cruz's home value is.

Fishrrman:
Hmmm....
That's what $2 million buys in Houston?

Ya get more for your money in Westchester County or across the line in Connecticut.

Note to Mr. Cruz:
If you can afford the house, put an iron fence around it...
