Ammon Bundy has pleaded with the remaining armed militiamen holed up at an Oregon wildlife refuge to go home now that he has been arrested and taken into custody.
But just to be safe, the Oregonian reported Thursday that U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman will not let Bundy or others out of custody until the standoff is over and the remaining militiamen have gone home. According to the FBI, there are four individuals still at the refuge.
According to the Oregonian, Beckerman believes that “the continued occupation only increases the defendants’ danger to public safety and risk of flight.”
So far 11 individuals face felony charges on “conspiracy to impede federal officers from their official duties through use of force, intimidation or threats.”
