Federal authorities rounded up 12 people in five states, bringing to 19 the number of defendants facing conspiracy, assault and threats charges in a 2014 armed standoff over grazing cattle on U.S. land near renegade cattleman Cliven Bundy’s ranch in southern Nevada.
Arrests of alleged co-conspirators Thursday in Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma and New Hampshire came after a federal grand jury in Las Vegas expanded an indictment already filed against Bundy. It also names two adult Bundy sons and five other men already in federal custody following the end of a nearly six-week armed occupation of a wildlife refuge in Oregon.
Court documents accuse the men of leading more than 200 followers into an armed confrontation that forced federal Bureau of Land Management agents and contract cowboys to abandon an effort to corral and remove Bundy cattle from federal lands where he was accused of letting them graze for decades without paying federal fees.

An article on the 100% opposite of the Bundy right-wing clan and some in western States, an “open” country, the opposite of closed to the public. Bundy & some in these western states who argue for the removal of public land to make it all privately owned.
And the restriction is not limited to interior lands, the attempted closing of beachfront property to the public also illustrates this private land restriction very well as seen in California, the Gulf and Eastern Seaboard, the funniest example being along the Gulf when Katrina destroyed and submerged much private land along the coast. Taxpayers restored the land to the benefit of the private land owners and then extended the land further. The private owners celebrated about their new land funded by the Government & tried to restrict the public from access to their newly enlarged property. Fortunately they were defeated in Court.

A COUPLE of years ago, I trespassed across America. Id set out to hike the proposed route of the Keystone XL pipeline, which had been planned to stretch over a thousand miles over the Great Plains, from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf Coast. To walk the pipes route, roads wouldnt do. Id have to cross fields, hop barbed-wire fences and camp in cow pastures much of it on private property.
Id figured that walking across the heartland would probably be unlawful, unprecedented and a little bit crazy. We Americans, after all, are forbidden from entering most of our private lands. But in some European countries, walking almost wherever you want is not only ordinary but perfectly acceptable.
In Sweden, they call it allemansrätt. In Finland, its jokamiehenoikeus. In Scotland, its the right to roam. Germany allows walking through privately owned forests, unused meadows and fallow fields. In 2000, England and Wales passed the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, which gave people access to mountain, moor, heath or down.
Nordic and Scottish laws are even more generous. The 2003 Scottish Land Reform Act opened up the whole country for a number of pastimes, including mountain biking, horseback riding, canoeing, swimming, sledding, camping and most any activity that does not involve a motorized vehicle, so long as its carried out responsibly. In Sweden, landowners may be prohibited from putting up fences for the sole purpose of keeping people out. Walkers in many of these places do not have to pay money, ask for permission or obtain permits.
Were not nearly as welcoming in America. Travel across rural America and youll spot No Trespassing and Private Property signs posted on trees and fence posts everywhere. And even where there arent signs, Americans know they dont have the implicit permission to visit their towns neighboring woods, fields and coastlines. Long gone are the days when we could, like Henry David Thoreau on the outskirts of his native Concord, Mass., freely saunter through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.
America, though, started off with an expansive set of roaming rights and traditions. Brian Sawers, a visiting scholar at Emory University School of Law, says that the right to roam specifically the right to hunt on private, unenclosed land was cherished by early Americans because it distinguished them from the English, whose aristocracy held exclusive hunting rights and owned the great majority of the country.
Roaming rights began to erode in the late 19th century, according to Mr. Sawers. In the South, states passed trespassing laws for racial reasons, seeking to keep blacks from hunting and fishing so as to starve them into submission. Elsewhere, wealthy landowners of the Gilded Era became concerned with game populations, and trespassing and hunting laws were passed to restrict immigrants, he said.
While the Bundy family and radical ranchers out west talk of seizing public land for themselves, we should be having the opposite conversation about opening up the country for everyone. Something as innocent and wholesome as a walk in the woods shouldnt be considered illegal or intrusive. Walking across the so-called freest country on earth should be every persons right.

Those of us who value our natural resources and support the conservation of Americas fish, forest and wildlife are proud of our nations public lands heritage.
Supporters of this movement to transfer federal lands to states, like the radicals who occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, claim to believe states would do a better job of managing these lands than the federal government.
The truth is these supporters know the states cannot afford to take on the responsibility and financial burden of managing these lands, so the states would have to sell them. Special interest groups and the ultra-rich would gain, while you, I and every other American who relies on access to public land for outdoor recreation would lose.
Proponents of the scheme to hand over Americas public lands like to make the speculative claim that states would do a better job managing these lands, said Corey Fisher, a Missoula, Montana-based Senior Policy Director for Trout Unlimited. The truth is that states have a dubious track record. Western States have already sold off tens of millions of acres that they were granted at statehood.
Moreover, state lands are typically managed for maximum profit, not multiple use, often to the detriment of fish and wildlife habitat. Americas public lands work really well for sportsmen and women and we have nothing to gain and everything to lose by gambling on the transfer of our public lands. Its a fools bet.
As a Westerner who relies exclusively on public lands to hunt and fish, I take umbrage with legislators pushing a wholesale transfer of public lands to western states, said Aaron Kindle, Western Sportsmens Campaign Manager for the National Wildlife Federation. Here in Colorado we only have access to 17 percent of our State Trust Lands. Access is severely restricted, and can be eliminated at the drop of a dime.
Contrast that with the millions of acres of national public lands that are open to and owned by all Americans, and home to the large populations of fish and game that make the West so special.

Looks like the federal government couldn’t convince a jury of 12 Oregonians that a crime was committed:

What a crazy story. Bundy’s lawyer ends up getting tasered in court and arrested himself.
He dared to demand that the government produce the actual warrant under which his client was being detained. They didn’t want to do that, so they beat him up. Lovely.-
The Beliebers of Bundy who believe that government and the courts are THE problem all while waving tiny American flags & declaring themselves patriots.
“It’s in the Constitution!”
There is a sad joke there the beliebers don’t see.

[b]Bundy group, People’s Rights, training to defend from government ‘force'[/b][/h1]
On Thursday, dozens of people assembled in an Emmett warehouse to prepare to defend themselves from an armed conflict with the government, which they believe is imminent.
Ammon Bundy, a conservative activist known for leading armed standoffs with government agents, led the meeting of People’s Rights, a group he founded earlier this year to organize against government coronavirus mandates.
This year, the group has protested mostly peacefully, [link=https://www.idahopress.com/news/local/southwest-district-health-meeting-postponed-after-group-tries-to-force-entry/article_0959372b-3435-5bfa-8447-6c5e87241e15.html]although not always[/link] at health districts; at the homes of public officials; at this year’s special session of the Idaho Legislature; and at police agencies that have cited or arrested its members.
Throughout Thursday’s meeting were ominous references, by Bundy and others, to an escalation of conflict and the need to prepare “before the world comes to an end.” Ahead of the meeting, a text message from the People’s Rights online network administrators suggested the group needed to prepare for “the force that is evident to come upon us.”
The meeting followed the arrest two days prior of a People’s Rights member, who was charged with disturbing the peace while protesting at the home of Diana Lachiondo, a member of Central District Health’s board of health.

A permit given by former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt on the administration’s last full day in office would allow Hammond Ranches to graze on lands in southeast Oregon. The ranch is operated by father-son duo Dwight and Steven Hammond, who were convicted of setting fire to public lands in 2012.
The Bureau of Land Management subsequently revoked their grazing privileges in 2014 a move that caught the eye of Ammon Bundy, escalating to a 2016 takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.
Because the protest period had not properly concluded before the January 19 decision was issued, I am rescinding the January 19 decision and remanding the matter to the BLM to allow for full consideration of the timely protests, Laura Daniel Davis, the acting assistant secretary for land and minerals management, wrote in an order signed late Friday.[/QUOTE]

Ammon Bundy tries to enter his trial without a mask and was denied entry to the courthouse.
Judge then issued a warrant for his arrest when he’s not in court.
As he was being arrested, his family and supporters attempt to storm the courthouse entrance. -

[/h1] [b]Ammon Bundy Announces Run for Idaho Governor[/b][/h1]
Ammon Bundy formally announced his run for governor with a platform centered on abolishing most state taxes and claiming federal public land for the state, the [link=https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article252131633.html]Idaho Statesman[/link] reports.-
Will he also give up Idaho statehood too & become a territory again?
Almost 2/3 of Idaho is Federal lands. Maybe a better idea is to take these Federal lands and separate them from “Idaho.” Make these lands another Washington DC like Federal District. Do this with all the Federal lands.
Article Twenty-one, Section 19, of the Idaho Constitution. That section states in part: And the people of the state of Idaho do agree and declare that we forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within the boundaries thereof … and until the title thereto shall have been extinguished by the United States, the same shall be subject to the disposition of the United States…

Far-right leader Ammon Bundy is heading to jail for 10 days, the [link=https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article260214865.html]Idaho Statesman[/link] reports.
The gubernatorial candidate was found guilty of being in contempt of court Thursday after he refused to complete 40 hours of community service related to a July 2021 conviction. Bundy had argued that the stops made during his gubernatorial campaign satisfy his court-mandated community service. -

Civil arrest warrant issued Ammon Bundy.
Sherriff afraid to serve it.
My concern is with the safety of process servers and my deputies. I do not want to risk harm over a civil issue.
In a follow-up email with Gem County Prosecutor Erick Thomson on April 14, Thomson confirmed to St. Lukes that Wunder would not continue to serve these documents without a court order.

Failure to carry out these deliveries is a violation of St. Lukes constitutional rights, according to its legal team. Wunder told Boise State Public Radio in an email Tuesday that he cannot comment on ongoing litigation.
