Trump Pardons Oregon Men Whose Case Inspired Wildlife Refuge Takeover

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday pardoned a pair of Oregon cattle ranchers who had been serving out sentences for arson on federal land — punishments that inspired the armed occupation of a wildlife refuge in 2016 and brought widespread attention to anger over federal land management in the Western United States.

The ranchers, Dwight L. Hammond, now 76, and his son, Steven D. Hammond, 49, became a cause célèbre for an antigovernment group’s weekslong standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The group’s armed occupation of the refuge resulted in the death of a rancher from Arizona.

The pardons undo an Obama administration appeal to impose longer sentences for the Hammonds and show that, at least in this case, the Trump administration is siding with ranchers in the battle over federal lands.

The asshole is setting a record for establishing dangerous precedents.

"The national embarassment just pardoned the guys who performed the insurrection of taking over a federal facility"
