Cliven Bundy is encouraging the four individuals still known to be at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge to stay put and keep fighting, according to a report from Oregon Public Broadcasting.

OPB is reporting that Bundy wrote to County Sheriff David Ward and Oregon Gov. Kate Brown that “We the People of Harney County and also We the People of the citizens of the United States DO GIVE NOTICE THAT WE WILL RETAIN POSSESSION OF THE HARNEY COUNTY RESOURCE CENTER.”

In what OPB identified as a “notarized” letter, Bundy also demanded that all “state and federal” law enforcement agents leave the area. Bundy’s letter ran counter to the message coming from his detained son Ammon Bundy who led the initial takeover of Malheur, but since his arrest has called for the remaining occupants to give up and leave the refuge.

Cliven Bundy became a household name after a high-profile standoff against the Bureau of Land Management in 2014. Many of the same individuals who stood with Cliven Bundy then participated in the Oregon refuge standoff.
