The leader of an armed occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge on Thursday again called for remaining protesters to turn themselves in to authorities.
Ammon Bundy, who was arrested along with seven others Tuesday, made the statement through his attorneys.
“My message still remains: turn yourselves in. Do not use physical force. Use the national platform that we have to continue defend liberty through our constitutional rights in an Article III court, with an Article III judge,” Bundy said in the statement.
