BOISE, Idaho — A group of protesters gathered at the Idaho State Capitol on Friday afternoon to participate in a restroom sit-in to protest the recent passing of House Bill 752 (HB-752), otherwise known as the Bathroom Bill.
The law, which goes into effect on July 1, restricts bathroom use to one's biological sex, regardless of their gender identity.

Law enforcement ultimately detained multiple protesters. It remains unclear whether the protestors have been formally charged with a crime.
One protester, who appeared to have a sizable welt on their head, called for medical attention as they were escorted out of a nearby bathroom.
Idaho News 6 Neighborhood Reporter Sahana Patel was at the Capitol and will provide an update later tonight.
