Cliven Bundy, the father of occupation leader Ammon Bundy, flew into Portland International Airport Wednesday night and was arrested by authorities. He was booked into the lockup just before 11 p.m. according to Multnomah County Jail records.
The 74-year-old Nevadan was at the center of the standoff with federal officials over use of public lands. The Oregonian reports he now faces a conspiracy charge of interfering with a federal officer related to that standoff at his ranch.
The FBI confirmed Cliven Bundy was taken into federal custody 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, which did not respond to a phone call early Thursday.
Was Cliven arrested just for entering Oregon? The Feds are showing they mean to crush any resistance from this quarter. Not the Muslims, not the black militants, not the Occupy Movement, but the white militias.
