Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer first reported Loomer’s protest and live-tweeted the activity on Pelosi’s property in Napa, California.

In the two hours she spent there, Loomer carried a tent around the yard and shouted “Nancy, Nancy!” She also attempted to enter Pelosi’s home but did not because the doors were locked. Loomer was then escorted off the property and issued a warning for trespassing, according to Sommer.

Loomer was accompanied by men she said were undocumented immigrants. Sommer reported that the men did not provide identification to police.

On Twitter, people pointed out the irony of Loomer jumping a fence for her protest. After all, a U.S.-Mexico border fence is at the heart of current immigration debates.

Loomer did not immediately respond to the Daily Dot’s request for comment. A link on her website shows a live stream from the protest.

In November, the activist made headlines when she handcuffed herself to the doors of Twitter’s New York office to protest being banned from the platform. Twitter allowed her to protest for several hours and did not press charges.
