Bundy Family Fighting Extradition

koh no 24 news

Two members of the Bundy family are fighting government efforts to extradite them from Oregon to Nevada, to face federal charges in the 2014 armed standoff with law enforcement near their father’s ranch in Bunkerville. Lawyers for Ammon and Ryan Bundy, are asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a court order forcing the transfer. The defendants want to resolve their criminal cases in Oregon first. But a Portland federal judge said those issues should be taken up in Nevada and ordered marshals to bring the defendants to Las Vegas April 13 and then bring them back to Portland by April 25. The defendants must be arraigned in Nevada for the case to proceed against them.
