Refuge occupier Sean Anderson adds additional confirmation that FBI will not advance tonight, but will allow occupiers to meet at checkpoint with Fiore and Graham later Thursday morning.
Anderson says occupiers will put their weapons in their vehicles when they turn themselves in as they march toward the checkpoint with American flags.
Anderson added that turning themselves in to the FBI is “going against everything we believe in,” but said they will “proceed with our surrender” once Fiore and Graham arrive at the refuge.
FBI agreed not to advance overnight, Sean Anderson says. #Oregonstandoff
