Oregon refuge occupiers plead not guilty as prosecutors say more people could be charged
Source: Washington Post
PORTLAND Less than two weeks after the armed occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge ended, the FBI says they are done going through to check for explosives and any stragglers who may have stayed behind.
But even as the focus has shifted to the courtroom, with some of the people indicted for the occupation arraigned on Wednesday, authorities say that other people could soon be charged for the weeks-long takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
So far, 25 people have been indicted for the Oregon wildlife occupation 16 of them earlier this month and another nine not long after. Some of these people have also separately been charged for the armed standoff at Cliven Bundys Nevada ranch in 2014.
Early next month, the government is likely to file a superseding indictment that may add additional charges and defendants, according to a court filing this week from federal prosecutors. It is also possible additional indictments could follow that based on what investigators find as they process evidence, the filing said.
