In total, 13 men were charged in connection with the plan to kidnap the governor.
Six were arrested charged with federal crimes, while another seven were picked up on state charges, officials said on Thursday.
According to The Detroit News, FBI agents wrote: "Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor."
"The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message."
One of the men was accused of saying Whitmer “has no checks and balances at all. She has uncontrolled power right now."
"All good things must come to an end," the alleged plotter said.
Federal officials identified the accused as: Adam Fox, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, Brandon Caserta, all of Michigan, and Barry Croft, of Delaware.
The six men were arrested on Wednesday night and each face up to life in prison.
The seven suspects facing state charges include: Paul Bellar, 21, Shawn Fix, 38, Eric Molitor, 36, Michael Null, 38, William Null, 38, Pete Musico, 42, and Joseph Morrison, 42.
US Attorney Andrew Birge called them "violent extremists."
