Has he accepted US jurisdiction, Public ownership of the lands, repaid for his grazing on the lands, and renounced armed protest against our United States? If not, then he is rightfully where he belongs. Maybe he might plead guilty, offer restitution, in trade for time served? That seems fair, presuming his cattle are off federal lands or forfeited to us.
Has Jerry Brown? Kevin de Leon? Kathryn Cortez? Xavier Becerra? Ruben Kihuen?
None of them are in prison.
Public ownership of the lands
What part of the Constitution envisions the States being 50% occupied by the Federal government? Can you think of any of the colonies that would have agreed to that in 1787?
repaid for his grazing on the lands
He paid the county, which was his way of saying that was the legitimate entity. If you don't agree with that, you can't even begin to call yourself a Constitutional conservative.
and renounced armed protest against our United States?
My ancestors at King's Mountain, Guilford Courthouse and Alamance all were armed protestors against a corrupt government. People who worship unlimited federal power should move back to England or Canada. If the populace feels so strongly about an injustice that they feel the need to arm themselves, then the people who refer to themselves as "the government" need to consider that. It means they've gone too far and have lost their legitimacy in the eyes of the people. The BLM transformed from a aid agency to a group of radicals who viewed Western settlers as a weed to be eradicated on the way to some hippy bliss paradise where the Evil Ranchers were driven off the land. When did we vote for that?
The Bundy's may not be the brightest bulbs but Ammon made an eloquent case for himself in Oregon and won the day.
Nothing they have done should have denied them bail. If you want to worry about someone with foreign connections who might skip town, think of Judge Navarro: she has NO connection to "Our United States", since not one member of her family was here before 1960.

Who is this “us”?
PS
This is a retrial on a hung jury. It is a principal of law that a subjective decision can be made based on an assessment of the merits of a case. This is standard procedure and is why Restraining Orders are issued: an assessment of the probability of the success of a suit is made.
In this case, this has already occurred:
“On August 22, 2017, the remaining 4 defendants were found not guilty, and set free after being held without bail since 2016”
They are already on their second trial and were found totally innocent in Oregon. Yet they remain prisoners, subjected to the harshest of conditions? A responsible assessment of the case would show a high probability of exoneration. Where is Navarro’s justification? She has none. She is conducting a political persecution of men she hates, men she has no political connection to, men she has no right to judge.
Navarro should be impeached, Myhres fired, and both of them prosecuted for a malicious prosecution. The US Marshalls in this case have already shown they will resort to unwarranted violence when they crossed the line in Judge Brown’s court and threw the Bundy’s lawyer to the floor in the previous Federal trials.
What a contemptible big government cuck.
