Federal Magistrate Judge Janice M. Stewart approved an order to send embattled rancher Cliven Bundy back to Nevada to face a 16-count indictment.

Bundy was scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing in U.S. District Court Friday in Portland.

... court-appointed attorney Noel Grefenson of Salem, Oregon, argued that the government's 22-month delay in arresting Bundy .. contradicted its claim that he was a danger to society ... Stewart sided with the government, finding that Bundy had established a pattern of disregard for the orders of federal judges and calling him both a flight risk and a threat to public safety. "If he's released and he goes back to his ranch, that's likely the last the court will ever see of him," she said, noting that five of the six federal felony charges against Bundy carry the presumption of violence ...
