FBI agents arrested Jerry DeLemus, co-chair of Veterans for Trump in New Hampshire, on Thursday following his indictment in connection with the 2014 Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.
Federal charges against DeLemus included "conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, attempting to impede or injure a federal law enforcement officer and several firearms charges," the newspaper reported.
Susan DeLemus, a state representative and fellow supporter of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, confirmed her husband's arrest to the newspaper. Trump announced that he was forming Veterans for Trump in July and named DeLemus among the co-chairs.
The standoff in Nevada two years ago came after federal officials said Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy allowed his cattle to graze on federal land for decades without paying grazing fees. Bundy invited hundreds of followers, many of them armed, to his ranch to push back against federal officers who were impounding his cattle.
The event resurfaced in headlines this year when Bundy's sons, Ammon and Ryan Bundy, organized a standoff of their own at a federal wildlife refuge in rural Oregon. DeLemus traveled to Oregon to visit their occupation and called their cause "peaceful" and "constitutionally just.

Jerry DeLemus is on the side of liberty, and against oppressive lawless government. A solid Trump endorser.
there are so few people who can fall into a huge pile of manure over in over again, and smell more and more like a rose. He’s more of a patriot apparently than people realize. But then again does anybody know for sure that from even knew that the guy was involved in this stuff?
He also said the American people should not allow the west to become a federally owned frontier. I guess its how you define FEDERALLY OWNED.
Let the farmers and Ranchers work something out with the state.
Yes, let’s arrest Jerry because he’s oh so dangerous.
But Hillary? Nooooo. She’s so good for America and such.
Yep, feel safer now that Jerry’s behind bars. We can all sleep better tonight.
BTW, hopefully the actions of the BLM and private ranchers will be a topic of discussion as the campaigns move out toward flyover country. Missing a golden opportunity to nail Hillary with her ties to selling off mineral rights to the Russians and Chinese for very large donations to the Clinton Foundation. That is... if anybody really cares.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me...
The long knives are out.
Safari hunters for Trump killed that lion in Africa.
Cruz and Trump... while they can fight each other tooth and nail...... need to join together on this one point and both tag team crap out of the GOPe, Dems, and the out of control Fed
Lol!
Not a Trump supporter, but this isn’t going to hurt him.
On the other hand, Cruz supports turning over federal lands to the states, and Trump doesn’t.
But he already said he wants to keep them “protected”. Cruz is the guy who wants the feds to divest property in the west.
I agree.
And my bet is that he will, but at the right place and time to maximize the effect.
You got it.
Needs it’s own thread. Get together with others who responded in kind, write a piece with references and post it under general discussion.
Good for him. He stood up against an oppressive government entity!
DOJ is already proofing the models. Like the Waco Biker scam? 9 months later, date not set for a single trial. Postponed.
“Justice Postponed is Justice Denied”
They are perfecting the weaponization of the Legal System.
Like the Scott Walker “John Doe” investigations. Going on for years and nothing but pure vindictive prosecutorial persecution.
Obozo cannot possibly go soon enough. Future of the Republic hangs in the balance.
I think the GOPe are all getting fitted for their Fonzi style shark jumping water skis.
I don't think that qualifies as "Trump Campaign Official".
