Nearly two dozen lefty activists were arrested Monday for breaching President Biden’s Delaware campaign headquarters in protest of his policies on the climate and Israel-Hamas war.
“Young people won’t support a President who flip flops on climate action and who funds genocide,” Sunrise Movement, the group behind the demonstration, warned in an X post.
The 21 “adult subjects” who were arrested out of around 100 protesters that gathered outside the Biden campaign office will be charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, according to the Wilmington Police Department.
Those arrested made their way up to the eighth floor of the Brandywine Building in downtown Wilmington, which houses the 81-year-old president’s campaign re-election headquarters, and refused police orders to leave.
Protesters continued to wave signs reading, “Fund climate, not genocide” after the arrests of those “sitting in” on the Biden campaign’s operations center.
“Young people are sitting in because Biden needs to lead and deliver, or he’s going to lose,” read a tweet from the Sunrise Movement.
The group also accused the president of going “back on his campaign promise to not drill on public lands” for approving ConocoPhillips’ $8 billion Willow Project.
The energy giant claims the massive Alaskan oil and gas extraction project could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day and create as many as 1,800 jobs during construction and 300 long-term jobs while generating billions of dollars in royalties and tax revenues for Alaska and the federal government.

I'm surprised they led off the story with this. They usually will print the article and leave this type of detail vague. allowing the reader to assume "far right", "conservative", "Trump supporters", etc.

Storming a campaign headquarters? This is an attack on the very idea of freedom and democracy that America is founded on. An insurrection if you ask me. But charged with...trespassing.
Gee. I wonder how many months and years these insurrectionists will spend in a DC jail like the J6 protestors?
He’s not communist/terrorist enough for them? Ridiculous.
It's concerning that these people walk among us every day.
We have been deluged with mentally ill , a true zombie apocalypse.
This is probably the same group that has been protesting near his house. They haven’t blocked the highway; SS gives them a safe place to protest off the highway.
Nobody pays much attention.
Most polls say Rutabaga has definitely already lost da youts.
Dozens arrested for breaching Biden’s Delaware campaign HQ.
They broke into his basement?.
