Protesting at the private residences of public officials of any party is just disturbing and wrong, but it does appear that the "rules" as far as it being lawless behavior goes can vary widely:

Wait, you can get arrested for doing this?
Local lawmakers were among dozens of demonstrators demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war who were arrested outside New York Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn home on Friday night, according to police sources.
Hundreds of people gathered at the Grand Army Plaza for the rally, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace — a self-described anti-Zionist activist group — before marching a few blocks to the senator’s Park Slope residence and blocking the street.
Exceptions do apply of course:

Protesters at Schumer's home got arrested, and not long ago Schumer did his part to foment anger over SCOTUS conservatives which culminated in protests at their residences, not to mention death threats.

They just like them outside conservative Supreme Court justices’ homes? https://t.co/pog0y1IebQ
Huh. Supreme Court justices wondering what THEY have to do to get this level of protection. Brett Kavanaugh, who faced an assassination threat, is no doubt particularly curious. https://t.co/uourpu21aO

"Protection for me but not for thee" is the Democrat mantra on many matters.
