Stateside: Alleged Whitmer kidnapping plot; rise of alt-right militias; legacy of Yusef Lateef
Today on Stateside, an alleged plot from an anti-government extremist group to kidnap Governor Whitmer and take hostages at the state Capitol has been foiled by federal investigators. We'll talk about what we know about this case so far and how it ties into a broader national discussion about the rise of violent alt-right groups. Plus, we talk about the life and legacy of the late Detroit native and jazz legend Yusef Lateef ahead of his 100th birthday.
