ATF and FBI Siege on Survivalist Compound

April 19th, 1985 39 years ago

In April 1985, over 200 ATF and FBI agents surrounded the compound of the white supremacist survivalist group known as The Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord in Arkansas. This standoff began as agents sought to enforce federal laws regarding firearms and other illegal activities. After two days of negotiation, the group ultimately surrendered, marking a significant moment in law enforcement's efforts to address extremist groups operating within the United States.
