"Bundy Cattle Grazing Continues on Federal Land a Decade After Standoff"

Ten years after an armed standoff between supporters of cattle rancher Cliven Bundy and federal agents, Bundy's cattle continue to graze on federal land in Nevada despite court orders. The standoff, which involved hundreds of armed protesters, resulted in the Bureau of Land Management abandoning efforts to remove Bundy's cattle from the rangeland. Despite federal prosecutions, no family members were convicted of a crime in the dispute over grazing permits and fees.

"Bundy Cattle Continue to Roam Disputed Rangeland a Decade After Standoff"

Ten years after an armed standoff with federal agents, Cliven Bundy's cattle are still grazing on disputed rangeland in Nevada. The standoff in 2014 led to the release of impounded Bundy cattle and a subsequent period of relative peace for the family. Despite owing over $1 million in unpaid grazing fees and penalties, the Bureau of Land Management has not taken action. The Bundy family continues to ranch, while conservation groups are suing to protect the desert tortoise and ecological values. The standoff has had lasting implications, with some seeing it as emblematic of insurrectionist movements in the United States.

A 13-hour armed standoff between Worcester police and a 24-year-old man ended with the suspect in custody.
