Katie McKellar of the Deseret News is reporting that activists have swarmed an Inland Port Authority Board meeting, resulting in at least one arrest:

More footage. Lead protestor Ethan Petersen was arrested. He resisted; Several UHP officers put him in hand cuffs. He laid down on the floor, was eventually dragged off. #utpol #utleg pic.twitter.com/xvPm6erBsb

There are young protestors here in the crowded audience wearing face masks to protest against the Utah port, based on concerns about how it will impact air quality. #utpol #utleg pic.twitter.com/BG4D1sXqZY

Walking in, I've counted roughly 8-10 Utah Highway Patrol troopers standing watch, both inside the committee hearing room and in the halls.

Last time protestors took over the meeting. Looks like they don't want that to happen again. #utpol #utpol pic.twitter.com/5btZC899iJ
