Bundy family members arrested in Utah on federal warrant
Federal agents made arrests in six states — including Utah — on Thursday, rounding up supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy for their participation in a 2014 armed standoff with federal agents.
In all, 12 men were arrested, including two of Bundy’s sons: David “Davey” Harold Bundy, 39, of Delta, Utah, and his brother, Melvin D. Bundy, 41, of Round Mountain, Nev., federal officials said.
The men are two of the 14 children of Cliven Bundy, the 69-year-old Bunkerville, Nev., cattleman who last month was arrested and indicted on 16 federal charges related to a standoff near his ranch as part of a long-running dispute with the Bureau of Land Management over unpaid grazing fees.
More than 200 people participated in the standoff, which resulted in the release of about 400 head of Bundy’s cattle, which had been seized by federal agents.
In a news release, the U.S. Department of Justice said the arrests follow the Wednesday return of a new grand jury indictment in Nevada’s U.S. District Court.
The indictment charges 14 new individuals with one count each of conspiracy to commit and offense against the United States, conspiracy to impede or injury a federal officer, weapon use and possession, assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, extortion to interfere with commerce and interstate travel in aid of extortion.

If the federal government overthrew the bounds set up by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, how would such a government act? They would continue a pretense that they are acting legally, supporting the Constitution and that we are still the land of the free. They would also condemn any dissent and arrest people as political prisoners.
The Southern Poverty Law Center published a list of anti-government patriotic people and groups. If the government was following the Constitution, wouldn’t patriots support the government?
