Trump Pardons Oregon Ranchers Whose Case Sparked Wildlife Refuge Standoff
Summary from the AllSides News Team
President Trump on Tuesday pardoned two Oregon ranchers who were serving prison sentences for setting fire to federal land, citing an "overzealous appeal" by the Obama administration which resulted in harsher sentences than were initially imposed. The case inflamed local supporters of the ranchers in 2016, leading to the 41-day armed standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
