Five men accused in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. U.S. Magistrate Judge Sally Berens will oversee the bail and detention proceeding in Grand Rapids for Adam Fox, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta — all Michigan residents. The men were trying to retaliate against Whitmer due to her "uncontrolled power" amid the coronavirus pandemic, authorities said. They said four of the men had planned to meet last week to pay for explosives and exchange tactical gear. Fox, who was described as one of the leaders, was living in the basement of a vacuum shop in Grand Rapids.
