News From Home State of Oregon. (I said I would stop reporting on this, but there needs to be an update). It's been a week since the 41 day standoff ended when anti-government militia took over the Mahleur National Wildlife Refuge. Federal officers are still making a clean sweep of the Refuge. They found explosives & firearms. They also found a trench with human feces in it. The militia is so against the government that they didn't want to use the federal building bathrooms.
Meanwhile, a judge will not release Cliven Bundy because he is a dangerous man. That judge came down hard on him in court, because he has warrants in Nevada going back several years. It all came to a boiling point when Cliven & his armed militia protected cattle from the FBI back in 2014. They had snipers in place as militia gunmen out-numbered the federal officers. Cliven owes $1 million in grazing fees because his cattle roamed free on federal land at Nevada.
Cliven was arrested when he stepped off the plane at Portland, Oregon. His son's Ammon & Ryan sit in prison who were the leaders of the take over of the Refuge. Those three & 22 others face federal charges that could land them in prison for up to 6 years. Cliven has at least 30 federal counts charged against him & could face more than 25 years in prison.
