I need to find it but there was a laundry list read out by a state official at one of the town meetings- Off the top of my head:

So far: Federal conspiracy to impede officers

Potentially for anyone there as a party: Conspiracy, vandalism, trespass, damage to property, damage to archaeological sites, conversion of federal government vehicles and other property, Charges relating to inciting violence and disorder

For some individuals individuals: possession of marijuana, illegal explosives, various kinds of firearms offences probably some illegal mods or whatever in there.

It would be difficult to use the federal murder statute because the offense was not committed within the special maritime or territorial jurisdiction of the United States. In addition, the federal felony murder statute is not really written as broadly as some states that make co-perpetrator deaths easy to charge as felony murders. The Oregon statute also does not provide for felony murder charges for co-conspirators.

There remain many charges that can be brought. My guess (without combing the statutes exhaustively) is that weapons and explosives charges will provide the longest terms of imprisonment, and are the likeliest route to mandatory minimums.

The real money questions are twofold:

Whether they can elevate the conspiracy to bread and butter terrorism charges such as conspiring to use a destructive device (quite possible given reports of explosives), and whether sentences will run concurrently or consecutively. The latter question is one of the few areas of federal sentencing law that are left to the substantial discretion of the district court. In that sense, it is a backstop. Even if it is not possible to satisfy the elements of charges with double-digit mandatory minimums, there is little question they can nail them for a whole slew of felonies. If they can convince the district court judge to sentence consecutively, that is a good way to pile up a lot of years. That is also a way that different levels of participation can be distinguished, in addition to different charging decisions. Lower level participants may get their sentences to run concurrently while people like the Bundys themselves may be sentenced consecutively. I am not personally familiar with the district court bench in Oregon, however, if I were betting ten dollars right now, I would say that they are quite likely to be receptive to consecutive sentencing if it comes to that. In addition, to double back on the felony murder discussion, Finicum (and anyone else that may die in addition) death can be a factor in the consecutive determination. That is, a judge can pretty safely articulate that they got someone killed, and run through criteria in 18 usc 3553a and check off factors in favor of a more severe sentence.

Finally, this isn't over. If they manage to kill a fed, that act can be imputed to all members of the conspiracy and everyone is going to get loving nailed.

tldr, there are a lot of ways to skin this cat, and it will take some remarkable criminal defense work to avoid lengthy prison sentences for the core participants.

I mean you can attribute Finnacum's death to the invasion of the refuge since he wouldn't have loving gone there if they hadn't lit up the batshitsignal via YouTube. I also hope they sit these fuckers down and put them on camera while they get shown all of the god drat media evidence against them.

Wouldn't jurisdiction lie in the predicate offense occurring on federal land? Federal felony murder can be based on burglary, so if you enter an occupied dwelling with the intent to steal, you're pretty much there.

quote:

Ammon Bundy, one of the leaders of the armed occupation, entered the courtroom with a half smile. He calmly placed his hand on the shoulder of a U.S. marshal, who ushered Bundy to his seat in the center of the courtroom.

[...]

“To those remaining at the refuge, I love you. Let us take this fight from here,” Bundy said. “Please stand down. Go home and hug your families. This fight is ours for now in the courts. Please go home.”
