Two militia members playing key roles in the siege of an Oregon wildlife refuge say Arizona officials took children out of their homes as part of a campaign to pressure them into surrender.
Arizonans Robert ‘LaVoy’ Finicum and Blaine Cooper, who are two of the more outspoken members of the anti-government occupation, said federal authorities pressured child-welfare officials to retaliate against them days after the siege began.
Interviews and research by The Arizona Republic indicate a court case was filed against Finicum. Court and Arizona Department of Child Safety officials, however, would not provide details of any such case, saying the law prevents disclosure of information.
“Any decision regarding a child in care is made solely on the basis of what is in the child’s best interest and is always done in consultation with the Attorney General’s Office and the courts,” DCS spokesman Doug Nick said. “Confidentiality would prevent me from saying more.”
The standoff at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is about to enter its third week. Armed militia members led by Phoenix businessman Ammon Bundy took over the federal facility Jan. 2 to protest the incarceration of two ranchers. They have vowed to stay until the ranchers are released and until the government relinquishes control of federal land and gives it to local authorities.
