What she is really upset about is the group of folks that committed arson on federal land are being denied rights to the land after Trump gave them the rights back on 31 December of 2020..
The Biden administration’s Bureau of Land Management on Friday rescinded a grazing permit that was granted to Eastern Oregon ranchers who were previously convicted of arson on public lands.
It reverses the decision by former President Donald Trump’s Interior secretary, David Bernhardt. He had granted the permit to Dwight and Steven Hammond on Trump’s final day in office. The permit gave the Hammonds the right to graze livestock on public land for 10 years.
Friday’s decision comes one day after a coalition of environmental groups sued the government over Bernhardt’s decision. Their lawsuit alleged that Bernhardt cut short the required public and environmental review processes before issuing permits to the Hammonds.

Ranchers whose case sparked standoff may get grazing rights
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The federal government has proposed awarding grazing allotments to an Oregon ranching family whose members were convicted of arson in a court battle that triggered the takeover of a federal wildlife refuge by right-wing extremists.apnews.com
That is based on lies.
There was no "arson" committed.
It is essential to burn off land.
If you don't, then the debris does not get reclaimed into the soil, and the inedible brush takes over and chokes off the grass needed for grazing.
And what happened specifically is that a controlled burn accidentally also burned some supposed federal land.
But that is NOT arson because the federal land SHOULD also have been burned off.
The natives were the ones who started the practice of doing these burn offs, tens of thousands of years ago.
It is a necessary procedure.
The federal government is in violation by NOT doing it.
