Ammon Bundy and his brother Ryan Bundy were transferred Monday from a federal detention center in Seattle to Nevada, where they face federal prosecution stemming from the 2014 standoff with federal agents outside their father Cliven Bundy's ranch near Bunkerville, Nevada.

The Bundy brothers were moved from the downtown Portland jail to the Federal Detention Center at SeaTac on Nov. 2, six days after they were acquitted of federal conspiracy and weapons charges in connection with the armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge following a five-week trial in Portland.

The Bundy brothers remained at the federal detention center in Seattle until Monday, when they were flown to Nevada.

Ammon Bundy, 41, and Ryan Bundy, 44, are now being held at the Nevada Southern Detention Center in Pahrump, Nevada, which is about 63 miles west of Las Vegas. Their father, Cliven Bundy, is at the same facility, according to a center representative.

They are all scheduled to face trial on Feb. 6 in the U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In Nevada, they face 16 felony counts, including extortion, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, assault on a federal officer, and threatening a federal officer.
