No, he is in defiance of a court order to remove his cattle himself and was given 45 days to comply. The same order authorized the BLM round up after the 45 days.

So now that both elements of the court order are bust (self removal or BLM removal), the judge could easily justify a finding of contempt and an arrest warrant.

I would not expect another show of force, but a quiet arrest in a neutral location when nobody is watching.

That would be the smart thing to do, but it lacks the pizazz the overlords want in order to make an example of Bundy. This is all about the optics. The government has been humiliated, and they want their fireworks. They don't want to quietly euthanize the prisoner in a cell, they want a hanging in the public square.

Someone is and will be for sometime watching over him and not just God. I would be surprised if a judge in Nevada, even a Federal one comes up with a bench warrant. I will give that he was in contempt for not removing the cattle himself but the BLM has made that sort of a moot point. Now the BLM will probably try and argue that his failure to comply lead to there failure. That would be interesting in Court. There are also some unconfirmed rumors this am that the Governor is actually engaged and working on a deal. About time.

One more thought. If they arrest him I think an interesting angle would be to argue the BLM is in contempt for NOT rounding the cattle up also. Therefore selective enforcement - judges hate selective enforcement - makes them personally liable.
