PORTLAND, Ore. — A federal judge Wednesday rejected Ryan Bundy's demand to be released from custody so he can appear before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy has been serving as his own lawyer since his January arrest during the armed occupation of an Oregon bird sanctuary. He's also facing federal charges in Nevada for his role in an armed standoff with federal agents at this father's ranch.
