The leader of the armed group occupying a federal building in Oregon said he believes the FBI plans to raid the property soon after obtaining five arrest warrants, Fox 6 News reports.
Ammon Bundy said he’s been told that the FBI is preparing a raid, which local and federal authorities would not confirm.
Local police and the FBI continue to say they are seeking a peaceful resolution.
The group is protesting the five-year prison sentences of two local ranchers who have since distanced themselves from the protest group.
“The FBI is working with the Harney County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and other local and state law enforcement agencies to bring a peaceful resolution to the situation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge,” the FBI’s Portland office said in a statement.
