This is the first evidence of anything coming from the Right.
Thirteen men including seven from a right-wing militia known as Wolverine Watchmen have been arrested over two alleged plots to kidnap Michigan's Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and incite a 'civil war'.
Six of the men were taken into custody in a raid on a house in suburban Detroit on Thursday morning. They have been named as Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, Brandon Caserta and 24-year-old Ty Garbin.
The FBI says they conspired to kidnap Whitmer at her family's vacation home in Michigan.
Another seven men have been charged by Attorney General Dana Nessell for allegedly plotting to overthrow governments, attack the Michigan State Capitol and incite a 'civil war'.
Those seven men are members of a militia known as Wolverine Watchmen, one of multiple known militia groups in Michigan.
They are; Paul Bellar, 21, Shawn Fix, 38, Eric Molitor, 36, Michael Null, 38, William Null, 38, Pete Musico, 42, and Joseph Morrison, 42.
On Thursday, Whitmer said she was shocked by the 'depraved' and 'sick' plot. She also blamed the men's hatred on Trump, who she said had spent the last seven months 'stoking division'.
Thirteen men have been arrested on federal or state charges stemming from the kidnapping conspiracy, including 24-year-old Ty Garbin, whose home northwest of Detroit was raided late Wednesday by federal agents.
Six of the men, who face federal charges, contacted a Michigan militia for help in their efforts, but a member of that group agreed to become an informant out of concern that the conspirators planned to kill police officers.
