LAS VEGAS -- A deal has been reached between Bundy family leaders and the BLM, but not without some very tense moments.
Armed Bundy family leaders met with BLM officers Saturday afternoon in Mesquite to discuss the fate of the Bundy's cattle that the feds removed from BLM land, over the past week. The cattle are being held at a holding area in Mesquite.
Prior to the meeting, hundreds of protesters, some armed, tried storming the BLM's cattle gate, but weren't successful. The crowd was urged to wait 30 minutes and give both sides a chance to talk. An agreement was reached that the cattle will be released to the Bundy family later Saturday.
At one point, I-15 was closed in both directions, about seven miles south of Mesquite, because protesters had blocked the freeway. Nearly two dozen police officers and a SWAT unit were at the scene to keep the peace and assist the BLM enforcement officers to safely leave the area.
Protesters have been gathering all week in support of rancher Cliven Bundy, who has been locked in a legal battle for the past 20 years over grazing rights with the federal government

Swat teams will keep going out until the day that they look up and realize that they are the ones that are surrounded.
Sorry, I didn’t see that the Spelling Police were already after you, :)
Oh, that clause. :^P
power to the people. well done folks.
I don’t think this is over. Just change in tactics. I’m surprised at all this drama. If he has broken the law then arrest him.
Let us never forget this day, let us never forget that a bully is only a bully as long as the bully is not challenged.
Yes, a sniper team for the BLM. Imagine that.
The federal agencies have their own police forces now because they can’t have the same tyrannical powers if they rely on locals for help. These thugs had to go to the LV police instead of the sheriff. Wonder why? Wonder who owns the LV police?
They had all better be looking over their shoulders all the time.
Yes, notice that every time there is mention of negotiation it is Bundy family members who are armed. No mention of the feds being armed to the teeth.
You are right and we need to remember this, we need to make sure it does not go away, we need to never forget that a few brave patriots backed the entire US G0vt down.
A few brave patriots stood between Reid and his Chinese masters.
She does not get protection from bats or Cirque de Soleil.
Divide and conquer. Create a person to vilify... Bundy. Paint him as a selfish, rich, privileged person who is against the “rights” of the sheeple.
Target the person.
They will have Clive Bundy buried within the year figuratively or literally. The poor man and his family are like a bull in the ring now. They will never leave them alone until they are destroyed.
And just how much did all of this nonsense cost the taxpayer. The buck stops with?
Will counseling services be made available to the cattle?
It only fair.. on Animal Farm.
the difference between this and Waco ... there were not 100’s of armed militia flocking to Waco.
Cow cuffs? No hell no, they’re all sitting on stools at the casino there smokin’ Kinda like my old lady used to do when I was putting a few hundies into a machine.
I like your home page — a lot
BLM would of stayed the course if in anyway they thought they were in the right
For BLM to do a 180 this fast to the point of returning the cattle tell me someone high up got afraid real real fast that dirt was about to be found out and is want to to just get quite asap
Now is not the time to back off..now is the time to pursue what the stinking truth is of this deal is
“They should try the cobbler.”
I’ve heard about your reputation as a military chef/pastry chef/sous chef/chef de cuisine and an overall great fellow who allows good fellows to puff Arturo Fuente Hemingways after dinner.
If you can slip me your best recipe for peach cobbler, my gratitude for you will be not eternal but close.
