Just four people are left occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon after the departure of a man from Montana. After 27 days refusing to budge, the occupiers are now negotiating with the FBI — or at least, that’s what what David Fry, an Ohioan who joined the occupiers in support, told OregonLive. Reporters could not confirm it with law enforcement. Fry posted a video this morning in which another of the occupiers, apparently Sean Anderson, who has a warrant for his arrest for conspiracy to interfere with federal employees, says, “We want to go home.” Through an attorney, Ammon Bundy, the arrested leader of the occupation, is again today urging the occupiers to leave peacefully.
