Trump Pardons Oregon Ranchers Convicted of Arson

Their case led to the occupation of a wildlife refuge.

Donald Trump has pardoned Oregon cattle ranchers Dwight Hammond and his son, Steven, after both were convicted of arson, which sparked the 2016 occupation of a wildlife refuge. The Hammonds' case led to an armed 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, reportedly the latest flare-up in a long-running conflict over federal control of millions of acres of public land in the Western United States.
