(Portland, OR) -- Governor Kate Brown is again calling for the occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon to end. The governor told KOIN-TV the Burns community is being torn apart by the occupation, which began on January 2nd with armed activists protesting the imprisonment of landowners convicted of arson. Ammon Bundy, who's leading the activists, says the occupation is a fight with the federal government over land control. Brown says Oregon officials are cooperating with federal authorities in finding ways to peacefully end the standoff.
