(CNN)A Federal court judge has ordered embattled rancher Cliven Bundy to be extradited back to his home state of Nevada, where he will answer to federal charges stemming from a 2014 armed standoff, according to court documents.
Bundy and four others -- including his sons Ryan and Ammon, who led the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon -- were indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday, according to the U.S. attorney for Nevada.
The five face 16 felony charges relating to an armed standoff the Bundys and their supporters had with the federal government in 2014.
Ryan Payne, who participated in the Oregon wildlife occupation, and Peter Santilli were also charged, authorities say.
"Persons who use force and violence against federal law enforcement officers who are enforcing court orders, and nearly causing catastrophic loss of life or injury to others, will be brought to justice," U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Bogden said.
Cliven Bundy was denied bail on Tuesday after a judge in an Oregon federal court determined that he was a flight risk, said Natalie Collins, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Nevada. Bundy is scheduled to be back in court Friday.

Without the black vote, Sanders doesn’t stand a chance.
A new Monmouth University poll shows that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has struggled to make inroads with black voters in South Carolina.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has spent months trying to win over black voters -- a demographic that is essential to winning the key primary state of South Carolina -- but a new Monmouth University poll released Thursday shows the Vermont senator has made minimal inroads with the group since November.
The poll, in which Sanders trails former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by 29 percentage points, shows that black South Carolina voters have remained unconvinced that he would do a good job addressing concerns pertaining to African-Americans. Overall, 43 percent of black voters are confident in Sanders compared with 73 percent who are confident in Clinton.
A larger portion of black voters have arrived at a decision on how well Sanders would address the concerns of African-Americans since a November Monmouth poll. Fourteen percent of black voters now say Sanders would do an excellent job -- up 6 points since November -- and 29 percent think he would do a good job -- down 3 points. That’s an overall improvement of 3 points.
Thirty-four percent say Sanders would do an "only fair" job -- up 2 points since November -- and 11 percent say he would do a poor job -- a 4-point increase.
Comparatively, black voters continue to place a great deal of faith in Clinton and her ability to meet the needs of African-Americans. Three in 10 black voters say she'd do an excellent job while over 4 in 10 say she'd do a good job. Twenty-two percent think she'd perform an "only fair" job and just 1 percent say she'd do a poor job.

I’m voting for Hillary because she fulfills the promise of my revolution. My revolution started in the 60’s, and was about “hell no, we won’t go” to Vietnam, elimination of the draft, and inclusion of women, blacks, and gays in civil rights, human rights and voting rights. We also desperately wanted to get out from under the false, delusional and paralyzing fear of communism that got us into Vietnam.
There is a new revolution going on right now about economic injustice, and I understand the anger: the anger people are expressing about exclusion from the wealth that is becoming concentrated in the hands of a smaller and smaller group. This is the anger that feeds Trump’s campaign, Bernie’s campaign, and ISIS. It’s about experiencing the burden, the oppression and despair of economic deprivation and powerlessness. A lot of women have been experiencing those things for a long time, and we feel your pain. The rhetoric of the current revolution, like so many, tends to demonize the establishment. We did the same thing in the 60s, but we called it the system.
