Video shows raid on home of Michigan militia member involved in governor kidnapping plot

October 8, 2020
By Travis Gettys

Federal agents raided a Michigan home as part of an investigation into a plot to kidnap the state’s Democratic governor.

Six individuals — Brandon Caserta, Barry Croft, Adam Fox, Kaleb Franks, Ty Garbin and Daniel Harris — were accused in the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and try her for treason before the Nov. 3 election, reported WXYZ-TV.

The FBI and Michigan state police took at least one of the suspects into custody at a Hartland home, where armed officers raided the residence late Wednesday and continued their search until early Thursday morning.

The suspects planned to recruit members to storm the Capitol in Lansing and take Whitmer and others hostage, according to the affidavit, in the coming weeks ahead of the election.

The conditions of the raid - no shots fired by both sides: the revolutionary side and the law enforcement side should be major parts of the news cycle. Why wasn't law enforcement as afraid of the armed gunmen as peaceful protesters or armed black men?
