Shawna Cox’s release conditions filed in federal court in Portland

A judge’s formal order releasing protester Shawna Cox makes no mention of a condition issued in court on Friday that the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation would have to end before she could leave jail.

The formal order, signed by U.S. Magistrate Court Judge Stacie F. Beckerman and dated Monday, calls for Cox to be placed on home detention with GPS monitoring and that her travel be limited to Kanab, Utah, Fredonia, Arizona, and Multnomah County for future court appearances.

She also was ordered to not possess or control any firearms, surrender her passport and have no contact with the co-defendants in the case.

The formal order appears inconsistent with the order Beckerman gave Friday during Cox’s detention hearing in U.S. District Court in Portland.

Beckerman had said then that Cox could be released with conditions but not until the occupation outside Burns was over. Four people remain at the bird sanctuary in Harney County.

Cox’s court-appointed defense lawyer Tiffany Harris had objected to the timing of the release, urging the judge to treat Cox independently from others who remain at the refuge.

It looks to me like the government thinks that they have complete control over their “subjects”. At least she was released, most of the “co-defendents” which she is not allowed to contact were denied bail.

There are a lot of socialist replying on the site. Not a good place for me to go before I go to bed.

And what was her crime again?

Max merely confirmed what we already knew, we live in a banana republic.

I would ad that if the government comes away without retribution they will most certainly be emboldened.
