PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) A Wisconsin man accused in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should be extradited to Michigan, but he will be given a chance to appeal first, a judge ruled.
Brian Higgins was allegedly part of a crew conducting surveillance of the governor’s vacation home for the kidnapping plot. He is charged with material support of an act of terrorism.
The Wisconsin Dells man, 52, is jailed in Columbia County until the appeal of his extradition is decided.
Defense attorney Christopher Van Wagner argued that Michigan extradition order should not be granted, saying Whitmer has a conflict of interest in the matter because she is the victim, WLUK-TV reported.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (CN) Five of the six men accused of scheming to kidnap Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer pleaded not guilty before a federal judge Thursday after a grand jury found the night before there was enough evidence to indict them.
The indictment returned late Wednesday did not add additional charges against the men but a chilling detail emerged: one defendant, Brandon Caserta, allegedly sent a message to the others saying they should give law enforcement one chance to retreat from any confrontation and then kill the officers if they refused.
