Judge Allows Bundy Brothers to Be Reunited at Oregon Jail

By STEVEN DUBOIS, ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTLAND, Ore. — Jul 11, 2016, 5:22 PM ET

Ammon and Ryan Bundy will be reunited at a downtown Portland jail as they prepare their defense on charges related to the armed occupation of an Oregon bird sanctuary, a judge ruled Monday.

The men were recently separated, with Ammon Bundy shipped to a jail in northeast Portland.

On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Jones granted Ryan Bundy's request to have the brothers housed in the same jail ahead of a September trial.

Jail officials prefer to have co-defendants separated, but the judge said this is "an exceptional case and an exceptional relationship." He did not elaborate on his decision.

Calling it exceptional isn't good enough.
