@ whatever - maybe you wouldn't be so cavalier about the situation if you, or your brother, or best friend, had been sitting in jail for over two months, despite never having been convicted of a crime, much less charged or even suspected, of any criminal activity. you think we should all go about our happy, pointless lives while injustice is committed by our federal government, damaging the life of an innocent 21 year old kid who has never harmed anyone? I feel sorry for you.

some many people - so much time on their hands - I wonder what would happen if they really had something to worry about

You can go to the web site, "supportJordan.com" and read more about how to help Jordan while he is still in jail.

Jordan is inocent,he has the right of the freedom please leave alone,he is more human than everybody please let out of jail not put this can it of presion to him sopt now.Thanks utah

"Frankie", you are a bitter person. Jordan is not accused of any crime and has not terrorized anyone. He just refuses to answer questions concerning his beliefs, his friends and his family before the grand jury. For our Government to treat innocent people this way is a sad state of affairs as his constitutional rights continue to be violated. The Logan Jail in Cache County is now feeding him vegan food so your cruel hopes will not be satisfied. I am so thankful that we can form our own opinions and that they differ from yours.

This guy should stay locked up. This will save the tax payers money. It is much cheaper to keep him locked up than it would be for him to terrorize hard working Americans who support their familes in legal ways. This boy is a troublemaker and tries to intimidate people. If he was smart he would just answer the questions the prosecution asks him. I hope that jail in Logan feeds him cheeseburgers three meals a day and gives him a wool blanket to keep warm.

Just an update on Jordan Halliday. He is no longer in the Salt Lake Metro Jail. The U.S. Marshals moved him to Logan Utah last week, to the Cache County Jail. They feel justified in doing so because the SL Metro Jail is overcrowded. This move is just another harassment tactic by the feds to keep him away from his family and makes it hard for his attorney to visit as well. It is a two hour drive one way. The jail's phone system is ridiculous and borders on being a monopoly and a scam. Not a problem for them, only for those who seek to speak with someone who is in jail. In the mean time Jordan has lost the job he has had for three years and he is also probably going to loose his home. All this because he refuses to answer questions posed of him before a grand jury and has been held in contempt of court. The irony of all this is he really has no answers to the real questions they are seeking. Because of his vegan diet, his health is also in jeopardy and is suffering from lack of having vegan meals provided to him. His human and constitutional rights continue to be violated on a daily basis. He needs people to support him and to write to him and to show that what he stands for is not in vain. I often wonder what this all is costing us as taxpayers to keep this young man in jail? What a waste of time and money. There really is no reason other than to prove a point that they can jail people and will. Grand Juries are archaic and unnecessary in states that have pretrial hearings, like Utah, that afford witnesses the opportunity to have their attorney present during questioning. What is also ironic is there is no recourse to the feds ruining this young man's life. It is too bad the feds can't be held accountable for what they have done.

Mike: Don't worry--you can tell that it's totally fake fur.

Good for him! Glad to see people standing up for their rights. If we don't, we'll all lose them.

Why is he wearing fur in the photograph?

to be ironic (its fake idiot)!

"Unless a person is under some extreme duress, then yes all contempt of court cases should be treated the same."

Really? REALLY? So being in contempt of court for refusing to testify about first amendment activity (like who you know) while being denied due process is the same as being in contempt of court with an attorney present while being tried for an actual crime?

oops! I was thinking of Viel and Hall... the mink people. My bad. It is still hot in my memory! Created quite a stir! So, I guess I was a little off topic. It is right in my backyard....(doh!)

The reality is that he caused financial damage to the farm and nothing more. I don't feel sorry for him in this regard. He's a big boy. he knew what he was doing. As to the terrorism stuff,...well, that's just plain silly. The FBI should be embarrassed by equating vandalism with terrorism. No lives were lost. National Security is not at risk. They are wasting tax payers money and need to remember that they work for the tax payers and therefor, as with any other employer/employee relationship, they should take that into account. If anything the only law enforcement that should be involved is local; NOT federal. You would think that they would have bigger fish to fry. The FBI is looking very silly. Even the 'X-Files' seems more credible at this point. If being Vegan makes me a terrorist for eating hummus and caring about animal welfare, then what does that make that Tiller character who is performing illegal abortions? He has taken more lives than these kids! It all comes down to the money trail and the corruption of the animal exploitation industries! Eco-Terrorist? I THINK NOT! ECO-PATRIOT IS MORE LIKE IT! Even the Obama administration is campaigning for animal welfare. C'mon, Fed's! Let's use a little common sense!

Bill:
Halliday is not accused of causing any financial damage, he is not accused of any crime at all.

Unless a person is under some extreme duress, then yes all contempt of court cases should be treated the same.

He was found to be in contempt of court, members of the Mafia who refused to testify have also been found in contempt of court. Why not champion their cause too?

MLK was also jailed in contempt of court. http://www.thekingcenter.org/mlk/chronology.html Are you saying that every case involving contempt should be treated the same?

I'm not "championing any cause" other than a defense of basic constiutional rights, including the First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of association, and due process rights of having an attorney present in legal proceedings.

Bravo Jordan! Don't step down.
