Oregon militiamen leader Ammon Bundy and six others were arrested earlier this week. On Friday, a federal judge ordered that they be held without the possibility of bail, NPR reports.
The militiamen had occupied an Oregon wildlife refugee to protest the federal government’s land policy. After a lengthy stand-off, authorities rushed in earlier this week, arresting seven and killing one militiaman, Lavoy Finnicum.
