Troopers might be moving people from the hallway, I heard the word "arrested" coming over the bullhorn. Arguments are getting heated in from the committee room.

It quieted down in the hallway but it seems like troopers are prepared to make a move. Frontline protesters are writing emergency legal contacts on their forearms expecting arrest.
A shot of the rotunda right now. It's relatively quiet.
I just made a sweep of the hallway, about a dozen frontline protesters are locking arms and refusing to leave. One just borrowed my pen to write a phone number on them and their friend. I don't think they plan on leaving.
Word in the hallway is that HSB242 passed out of the subcommittee. Chants have picked back up in the rotunda. I had heard Thursday for the House Committee but apparently it's being held later today?? That seems like an antagonism.
Chanting picked back up in the rotunda following the passage of HSB242 out of subcommittee. It'll apparently be in a full House committee later today. #ialegis #iowa #transrightsarehumanrights
I can't thank you enough for being there and speaking up and out for families like my dear college friends Jennifer and Kyle and their young adult child affected by all of this going on in Iowa. I have always been a fan of Iowa since going to a small college there, and even living in the state for+
+2 years after college. The people of Iowa, all of them, deserve so much more than their state leaders are giving them. I appreciate you and everyone else there today!
