Famed Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy filed a lawsuit against U.S. District Court Judge Gloria Navarro, Senator Harry Reid, Rory Reid and President Obama on Tuesday, citing a violation of his constitutional rights.

Bundy, who is 70-years-old, was arrested in February in Portland as he was making his way to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns, where two of his sons – Ammon and Ryan Bundy – were engaged in a more than month-long occupation. Bundy’s arrest stemmed from a similar incident that occurred in 2014 between the Bundy family and the Bureau of Land Management over grazing rights. Bundy’s standing up over what he believed was government overreach drew droves of supporters – many of whom were armed – before the BLM eventually backed off. Or so it seemed.

Bundy now faces numerous charges, including conspiracy to commit an offense against the U.S. and conspiracy to impede federal law enforcement officers, in addition to assault and threats against a federal law enforcement officer, extortion and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Bundy has maintained his innocence and, in fact, the complaint calls the agents involved in the 2014 standoff “the equivalent of federal storm-troopers,” while referring to Bundy and his family as “peaceful cowboys.”

The complaint, which asks for Bundy’s indictment to be dismissed, alleges the defendants violated Bundy’s Sixth Amendment right to counsel and for a speedy trial, Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment, Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in self-defense, as well as his First Amendment right to assemble.

Furthermore, the complaint claims that both Sen. Reid and his son, Rory, along with President Obama conspired to gain the land owned by Bundy, which is adjacent to land already owned by Reid. Bundy also contended Sen. Reid planned to, in turn, sell that property in the interest of the Chinese.

Additionally, Bundy accused President Obama of acting in a “threatening, mocking and disparaging” manner when he cracked a joke about Bundy at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner following the protest near Bundy’s ranch.

In addition to his release and dismissal of current charges, Bundy is seeking $50 million in restitution for “illegal, unconstitutional, intentional and malicious acts.”
