LAS VEGAS (AP) — In an interview from the Portland, Oregon, jail where Ammon Bundy has been lodged since his arrest in late January, he told The Oregonian he’s not ashamed of what he and others did in seizing an Oregon wildlife refuge.

Bundy said while serving time in jail is the most difficult thing he’s ever done, he doesn’t regret what they did because he knew “it was right.”

Bundy said as he sees it, they went into a public building and carried out a demonstration.

At the family home in Nevada, Cliven Bundy’s wife, Carol, acknowledged that her husband and sons Ammon, Ryan, Melvin and David Bundy were in federal custody. The mother of 14 children pleaded for prayer and echoed her husband’s call to fight government overreach.

“I truly believe this is showing the federal government thinks they have unlimited power over we the people,” Carol Bundy told The Associated Press in a brief telephone interview. “What kind of government do we have?”

“This is going to be won in the court of public opinion,” she added. “When we the people make a stand, that’s when we’ll win.”
