In September 2011, Ho achieved notoriety when she was one of several journalists arrested while covering a protest of Bay Area Rapid Transit. Ho was allegedly handcuffed after identifying herself as a journalist. Her arrest drew criticism from the Chronicle.[5]

In January 2012, Ho was again arrested covering the Occupy Oakland protest.[6]
