Ryan Bundy

Many people know the story of the Bundy-led standoffs in 2014 and 2016 against the federal government. But most people do not know where the Bundys first developed their anti-government ideology.

It's time to go back to where this all started, to return to the scene of the crimes — or not-crimes, as it turned out. We're on our way to Bundy Ranch.

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.

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. 

As a second trial continues for activists who occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, federal prosecutors have subpoenaed a former reporter for Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Ammon and Ryan Bundy have been found not guilty of conspiracy. Their five co-defendants Jeff Banta, Shawna Cox, David Fry, Kenneth Medenbach and Neil Wampler have all been found not guilty as well. 

As the defense enters the second week of presenting its case, Ammon Bundy is set to take the stand in defense of his actions during the 41-day takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Opening arguments begin Tuesday for seven people accused of conspiring to occupy the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Here's what to expect.
