For federal rangers in the Southwest, it’s been a rough few months with threats of violence and open defiance of their rules. Now a group representing federal employees says their agency, the Bureau of Land Management, isn’t being up-front about what it’s doing to protect them. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) has sued the bureau for documents related to a standoff with a Nevada rancher and armed militia members. Daniel Patterson is the southwest director of PEER and a former Bureau of Land Management employee. He joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss the details of the lawsuit.
