I don't want to open up arguments about what land the U.S. can own under the Constitution, or whether land is held in trust for the people of the U.S. or Nevada.
At this point, the 'law' is what federal courts have ruled, which is the land belongs to the feds and federal law controls that land.
Whether or not the feds can enforce its laws and claims is another matter. We saw that with the first Bundy conflict.
