A federal jury in Las Vegas is due to hear opening statements in the retrial of four men who brought weapons to a standoff at Cliven Bundy’s ranch in 2014.
The four men say they drove from Idaho and Montana to Bunkerville to protest Bureau of Land Management tactics, which they said included agents using dogs and stun guns against Bundy family members.
Prosecutors want jurors to focus on conspiracy, assault on a federal agents, weapon and other charges.
On Saturday, Bundy supporters gathered at an event in Las Vegas headlined by Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore and members of the Bundy family.
A jury in April found two co-defendants guilty of some charges but failed to reach verdicts for Scott Drexler, Richard Lovelien, Eric Parker and Steven Stewart.
Trial is expected to take several weeks.
Cliven Bundy and other defendants are jailed pending trial later.
