As we enter Day 31 of the standoff at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge,
here are the latest developments:

According to witness Shawna Cox, who was arrested with four other
occupiers on Tuesday, Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, spokesman for the
occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, was yelling "just
shoot me" before he was shot and killed by police in a traffic stop

her husband said Sunday. U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman on
Friday had ordered the release of Cox and another defendant, but it was
*contingent on the departure of the remaining four occupiers at the
wildlife refuge.* It's not clear what changed.

The four holdouts awoke Sunday to discover that many lost phone and
Internet service overnight

occupiers have produced several online videos detailing their stance,
but their account has been quiet since Saturday evening. The sudden
quiet heightened the sense of uncertainty

about when -- and how -- the standoff would end.

Ryan Bundy's wife, Angela, said in an interview with a Boise television
station that her husband is "really shaken up" over the shooting death
of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum

Two demonstrations are planned for Monday in Burns, one by protesters
who back the standoff and another by locals in support of law
enforcement officials.

Ammon Bundy to appeal to another judge to be released pending trial,
court records show


Lawyers for Ammon Bundy this week will challenge U.S. Magistrate Judge
Staci F. Beckerman's order to keep Bundy in custody pending trial.

Beckerman on Friday denied release for Bundy,
<http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/federal_judge_denies_release_f.html>
citing his repeated disregard of federal orders to leave the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge, where he's accused of leading a month-long
armed takeover of the federal property that began Jan. 2.
