Ammon Bundy

Idaho gubernatorial candidate and antigovernment activist Ammon Bundy has been fined $3,000 and sentenced to 10 days in jail for contempt of court.

A major Boise hospital was locked down for about an hour after far-right activist Ammon Bundy urged supporters to head there to protest a child protection case involving a family friend.

Police say far-right activist Ammon Bundy has been arrested after refusing to leave a hospital in connection with a child-welfare case.

Far-right activists gathered Saturday in Idaho to burn masks in opposition to COVID-19 restrictions. But Oregon, which has fared well during the pandemic, could also pay the price if the Gem State abandons health safety guidance.

Many people first heard of Cliven Bundy and his family in 2014, when armed militias showed up at his ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada. But that action was only part of a growing anti-government movement.

Once again, the Bundy family has stymied federal prosecutors. 

U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken sentenced Michael Emry, 55, of John Day, to two and a half years in federal prison and three years of supervised release.

A jury has convicted occupiers Jason Patrick and Darryl Thorn on felony conspiracy charges for their roles in last year’s takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Did brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy go too far when they led a 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge? By a narrow vote, Oregon Republican activists say yes. 

The defense continued making its case Wednesday morning in U.S. District Court in Portland.
