The Harney County Court issued a press release expressing relief that the illegal and destructive occupation has ended so the locals can start trying to resume their normal lives. The release indicated that progress through legal means - cooperation and dialogue - has been made over the years in dealing with differences and grievances surrounding federal land management and would continue to be addressed in that manner.
"In the meantime, the occupation and continued presence of militia groups in Harney County continues to cause division in the county and every community within. Calls for thousands of people to descend on Burns are very troubling. Continued militia presence in Harney County will only serve to delay any meaningful work on the issues that need to be addressed. We are very grateful that the occupation ended peacefully and we look forward to the day when our community is ours, once again."
