Radical Anti-Israel Protestors Target Houston Home Of Sen. Ted Cruz

The radical anti-Israel protestors have remained in check here in Houston, except for a small group that continues to show up in front of the home Senator Ted Cruz. As reported exclusively on FOX News:

Cruz’s home in Houston has been the target of 14 protests since February, including a protest on Friday when one suspect was arrested. Cruz’s office said that the senator remains resolute in his support of Israel, while brushing off the protesters' tactics of "harassment or intimidation."

"Senator Cruz will continue to stand with Israel and support Israel's right to defend itself and utterly eradicate Hamas. No amount of harassment or intimidation by terrorist supporters will change that," a spokesman for the senator said.

The protesters outside of Cruz’s home in recent months are tied to Students for Justice in Palestine, law enforcement told the senator, according to Fox News Digital.

The HPD confirmed to Fox News Digital that law enforcement have repeatedly responded to Cruz’s home over the protests this year but outlined that the police department can only publicly confirm there have been assemblies outside the residence, not identify specific groups the protesters are affiliated with. 

One radical protestor was arrested on Friday evening, according to law enforcement. Cruz posted on X that evening that protesters were clanging cowbells and yelling for two hours on his street. Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris County Constable's office for additional details on the arrest but did not immediately receive a reply. 

"So, this is going on right now. It’s nearly 11 pm. Pro-Hamas protestors have been screaming and cursing for 2 hours. Banging cowbells & blowing whistles," Cruz posted on Friday.
