... A message posted Monday to the Facebook page of Jeanette Finicum — widow of Robert LaVoy Finicum, an Arizona Strip rancher who was killed by Oregon police at a roadblock — says Ryan's Plains, Mont., family "has said that they have decided 'the arrests stop here,'?" and that they would "make a stand" ...

Roxsanna Ryan said the family hoped to get a feel for the support of the people in Plains, a town in northwestern Montana's sparsely populated Sanders County ...

She added that she hoped for support from Sanders County Sheriff Tom Rummel. A message left on Rummel's answering machine was not returned Monday ...

A poster on the Bundy Ranch Facebook page — associated with the 2014 southeastern Nevada standoff that resulted in 19 indictments — wrote Saturday that "Rummel has held off the arrest for nearly a week because his conscience is bothered, but so far he is not ready to stand up fully to these thugs. Locals are also trying to gather a town hall" ...

A Montana man accused of disturbing a sacred Burns Paiute archeological site by using heavy equipment to dig a giant latrine for protesters became the 26th person charged publicly in the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

A judge on Monday unsealed the name of Jake Ryan that had been concealed in an indictment filed March 8 in U.S. District Court in Oregon.

Ryan and fellow occupier Travis Cox are the only two of the 26 defendants who haven't been arrested, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Gabriel.
