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.

Negotiated? They were clearly breaking the law. Only negotiating that works is if the Dirty Harry variety.
300K a year can most definitely afford a $2 million home.
Book money laundering can help?
Just build a picket fence.
“video showing some of the participants sitting on Cruz’s front lawn and refusing to budge”
Don’t they got sprinklers in Texas?

Nobody retires from Congress poor.....
Ted Cruz’s wife worked for Goldman Sachs.
Ted Cruz took campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs and then hid them because he knew it would hurt his base.
Ted Cruz is not trustworthy.
Article just HAD to reveal the value of the home. That’ll set off the minimum wage increase dbags.
The little red head that was cuffed looks pretty excited and like she expected it and loves it. One day she’s gonna be...arrested again.
Police negotiated??? Was this a hostage situation, or a bunch of asshats trespassing and disturbing the peace? Just arrest the brainless idiots and be done with it.
As managing director at investment bank Goldman Sachs, Ted’s wife Heidi ā whose salary is not known and was not disclosed ā is very likely the breadwinner in the family.
Iād pay to see that.
An hour? They shot and killed Ashli Babbitt in minutes.
With this hot real estate market, the house was probably worth $500k a few years ago. Sadly, $2 million doesn’t buy you much in a lot of markets anymore.
