Ammon Bundy says the report is inaccurate and that People’s Rights now has more than 62,000 members. The organization has been largely focused on fighting public health restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic.
Famed Larry Klayman asked, for the fifth time, to be admitted pro hac vice (lawyerspeak for “just this once”), so that he might defend Cliven Bundy in federal court in Las Vegas. And like a parent refusing the repeated request from a bratty child, the 9 th Circuit smacked down Klayman’s “emergency” request yet again. From the language of the opinion, Justices Fletcher, Gould and Bybee rather enjoyed telling Klayman where he could shove his writ of mandamus.

Cliven Bundy was born on April 29, 1946, in Les Vegas, Nevada, United States of America. David Ammon Bundy is his father, and Bodel Jensen Bundy is his mother. His father, who started a ranch with Cliven when he was eight years old, mentored him as a rancher from an early age. Their first ranching property was in Bunkerville, Nevada, which his father purchased in 1949.
His net worth is $1 million as of 2021. His cattle grazing is his primary source of revenue. Cliven’s business is projected to bring in around $300,000 each year. His net worth could have been higher if it hadn’t been for the government’s frequent clashes over grazing areas.
Carol Bundy, his sweetheart, he married. They have 14 children together. His family is rather large, as he is the father of 60 children. His two sons, Ammon and Ryan, are in detention, while his son Cliven Lance is incarcerated for firearm and burglary charges. In the event of an assault, he has personal armed guards and 100 backup guards. As a rancher, Cliven Bundy has had a worldwide impact. He campaigned for little government participation in ranching and other local concerns as a result of his family’s never-ending battles with the government. He is also a staunch supporter of the sovereign citizen movement, which claims that the federal government is unconstitutional and has no authority over individuals. As a result, he rejects federal police authority over Nevada’s local land, which belongs to the Sovereign State of Nevada.
Despite his height of 6′ 0′′ in feet and inches and 183 cm in centimetres, he weighs 187 pounds and 85 kg.
The government's case against Cliven Bundy, his sons, Ammon and Ryan and a Montana militiaman named Ryan Payne, collapsed after a judge declared a mistrial in December 2017.

After all, President Trump recently pardoned two Oregon ranchers whose fight with federal land managers inspired Cliven Bundy's son, Ammon Bundy, to lead a separate, armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon in 2016.
But in the years since, his critics say the family's fight has devolved into far right extremism, and a widely debunked legal theory that counties and states, not the federal government, should own public land.

Soon thereafter on January 8, 2018, Navarro dismissed with prejudice all charges against Cliven Bundy and his sons, thus forbidding any retrial of the defendants. In her decision, Navarro further criticized prosecutors for willful violations of defendants' due process rights, as well as the aforementioned failure to properly turn over evidence to their lawyers. The government appealed the dismissal.
In a memo dated November 27, 2017, BLM lead investigator Larry Wooten alleged that he was removed from his role in the Bundy case for objecting to a "widespread pattern of bad judgment, lack of discipline, incredible bias, unprofessionalism and misconduct, as well as likely policy, ethical and legal violations among senior and supervisory [BLM] staff." However, a prior internal investigation by BLM special agent Kent Kleman contradicted Wooten's particular allegations that staff assigned to the case withheld evidence that would assist the Bundy defense.
Prior to his incarceration, Bundy lived in his family home which he built with his father. A Latter-day Saint, he has many descendants, including 14 adult children and 60 grandchildren. His children include Ammon Bundy and Ryan Bundy, two of the leaders of the 2016 occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Bundy advocated for limited federal government involvement in local affairs, particularly in ranching.
Bundy has participated in, and had links with various related movements, including anti-government activism, (which opposes federal government involvement in favor of state and local governments) and the sovereign citizen movement (which holds that people are answerable only to their particular interpretation of the common law and are not subject to any government statutes or proceedings). Some view him as a hero for having led a movement of ranchers to encourage more ranchers to join him in defaulting on their grazing fees as per their federal grazing contracts. Bundy's views have also generated significant controversy and criticism; for instance, he came under fire for remarks suggesting that African Americans might have been better off under slavery than living under government subsidy.
