THE PEOPLE PREVAIL!!!! BLM retreating. I hope ALL Americans can now see what peaceful vigilance can do. All of this began as the federal government's egregious overreach, claiming to be for the protection of the Desert Tortoise, which is actually thriving, as it has forever, in peaceful co-existence with Mr. Bundy's cattle. I am sure this situation was abandoned by BLM as early as it was to prevent the federal government's true motive for trying to run the Bundy's off their ancestral land from being revealed. Had the Bundys not had the support of thousands of patriots present, some of them armed, there is no question that the federal government would have been successful in destroying Mr. Bundy's livelihood. Way to go, fellow patriots! You have made REAL Americans very proud!!!!

The BLM made the announcement Saturday morning, a week after rangers started gathering the animals from land near Gold Butte.

The agency says it is concerned about the safety of its employees and the public. Earlier this week, BLM officers and supporters of the Bundy family were involved in a scuffle. Cliven Bundy’s son, Ammon Bundy, was tased twice by federal agents. Another woman said she was thrown to the ground by an officer.

With more Bundy supporters pouring in from around the country, safety concerns began to grow.

The I-Team has learned the deal to end the gather was brokered by Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.

According to sources, the BLM wants to proceed with the sale of the cattle already gathered during the roundup but is reportedly willing to share the revenue from the sale with Bundy.

Sheriff Gillespie has been negotiating with Bundy behind the scenes for months reached a tentative agreement Friday night, though Bundy insisted the sheriff come to his ranch to finalize the arrangement face-to-face.

The two men meet Saturday to discuss the agreement prior to a public announcement.

In its statement, the BLM said its actions this past week were progress in enforcing two court orders to remove the trespassing cattle from public land.

The agency director also asked that everyone involved in the dispute remain peaceful and law-abiding.
