Tracking the Shifting Shape of Far-Right Political Violence
By Laura Bliss and Marie Patino
The 13 men arrested last week for plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer had discussed murdering “tyrants” and trying Whitmer for “treason,” according to court documents.

They face a host of terrorism, conspiracy and weapons charges.
