As a comparison, adjacent US Attorney for Western Washington went after a guy for interfering with a CBP helicopter actively involved in a search for border crossing smugglers. The offender pointed a 2 million candle power spotlight at the helicopter, which immediately gained down the pilots' night vision goggles. In essence, blinding them so they had to immediately commence an emergency climb. That guy only got a couple months. The Hammonds are looking at totals of 5 years a piece.
And the BLM and USFW have been harassing the Hammond’s for ten years,blocking aaccess to their own land and taking them to court over water rights (the Hammond’s won).
I posted the link to the story just above.
Make no mistake. The BLM is evil,evil,evil.
