President Donald Trump on Tuesday granted clemency to two Oregon cattle ranchers, whose imprisonment led to a 2016 armed standoff. Trump granted clemency to Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., and his son, Steven Hammond, who were sentenced to five years in prison for setting fires on federal land. The White House said a judge had said a five-year sentence would be grossly disproportionate and that "the previous administration, however, filed an overzealous appeal." Armed militants in 2016 seized the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge after their arrest.
