State troopers arrested an 18-year-old activist at the Iowa Capitol Thursday as a group rallied against proposed legislation that would increase qualified immunity for law enforcement officers and heighten penalties for some protest-related offenses.
While the group demonstrated on the first floor of the Capitol early Thursday afternoon, state troopers arrested Josie Mulvihill, of Des Moines, charging her with assaulting a police officer, a serious misdemeanor.

Angelina Ramirez, another protest organizer, spoke out against bills that boost penalties for rioters who cause property damage and forbid diversity trai
