The Trump Administration announced it has dropped criminal charges against a South Dakota ranching family.
Charles and Heather Maude faced federal charges over a fence-line and planting disputes involving 50 acres of federal land. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said it was a civil case, and the charges should never have escalated. She said the actions of the previous administration caused turmoil for the Maude family.
The Maude Family will speak at a news conference in Washington tomorrow.
