In Oregon, Ammon Bundy has called for the remaining armed militia members occupying a federal wildlife reserve to “please go home.” Ammon and his brother Ryan Bundy were arrested following a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon that left militia spokesperson Robert “LaVoy” Finicum dead. In federal court Wednesday, Ammon Bundy’s lawyer read Bundy’s statement urging the protesters to end the armed occupation. This comes as law enforcement officers set up checkpoints in and out of the wildlife refuge. Officers arrested three more militia members at one of the checkpoints. In total, 11 militia members have been arrested, including the Bundy brothers. They all face federal felony charges of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats.
