Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, the father of the jailed militia leader whose followers have occupied a federal wildlife refuge in eastern Oregon for the past 40 days, was arrested by FBI agents in Portland, Ore. late Wednesday as he stepped off a flight from Las Vegas.
Bundy’s arrest was confirmed on the website of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, which said he had been booked in to the Multnomah County Detention Center shortly before 11 p.m. local time.
The FBI also confirmed Cliven Bundy’s arrest but declined to provide a reason or other details, saying further information would be released by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Las Vegas Thursday.
The Oregonian newspaper reported that Bundy faces charges related to the 2014 standoff between federal agents and militia members on his Nevada ranch. The charges include conspiracy to interfere with a federal officer, the same charge lodged against two of Bundy’s sons, Ammon and Ryan, for their role in the ongoing standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Cliven Bundy has become the latest political prison to be arrest by the “government”.

Well, false arrest and character assasaination are better than full-on assassination, as was committed upon Lavoy Finicum – His blood, cries out from the ground for vengeance.
Not sure I should comment on what is really on my mind.
One more fact to file away on how government treats it’s citizens. The façade of legitimate government is torn revealing the barrel of a gun pointed at all who challenge…..unless you are in Ferguson of course.
So watching to the two mainstream media outlets, they would have their viewers think that both Cliven and Lavoy are militia captains. Think that the feds are using the momentum from the shooting of Mr. Finicum to arrest Mr. Bundy? The camera on the flag pole has been switched on in the event of a rally. Time and documentation is on our side.
hmmmmm ill agree better not to post my thoughts on this public foroum .there will be a time and place when there will be a reckoning
