Horsford Statement Regarding Intimidation Of BLM Official

Statement

Today, Representative Steven Horsford (NV-4) released the following statement after reports of a Bureau of Land Management worker being threatened on I-15 south of Salt Lake City:

"This type of intimidation is unacceptable and must be dealt with immediately. Unchecked militia groups are setting a precedent for lawlessness in the American West, and it is repugnant that this menacing behavior is spreading. No individual should fear for their life just because they showed up to work. If elected officials remain silent about this appalling behavior, they are tacitly condoning it. We need to push for this to stop before somebody gets hurt."
