Some articles suggested the Hutaree had not yet determined whom in law enforcement they would kill, or even that they wished to kill a law enforcement officer in order to begin a war with law enforcement, while not having any specific target.[17] The FBI was aided in its investigation by members of another militia group.[18]
Members taken into custody[edit]
In order as shown: Tina Mae Stone, Joshua Matthew Stone, David Brian Stone Sr., David Brian Stone Jr., Thomas William Piatek, Michael David Meeks, Kristopher T. Sickles, Joshua Clough, Jacob J. Ward
Nine members of the group that were arrested:[19][20]
On May 3, 2010, U.S. District Judge Victoria A. Roberts ordered all nine defendants to be released on bond, over the objection of Federal prosecutors. "The order is silent as to any financial aspects of the bonds. In federal court, defendants are normally released on $10,000 unsecured bonds, meaning they do not have to put up any money." The court ruled that five of the Hutaree remain in custody. The ruling applies to David Stone, Sr., Joshua Stone, Joshua Clough, Michael Meeks and Thomas Piatek. Four other members have already been released on bond. The court ordered that they be placed on electronic monitors.

We need to take care of the militia gangs as well. US citizens and white Christian freaks.
The lesson learned from this case was not to think any negative thoughts---or so it was reported by one of the members at the time. There was no actual plan and no target.
Look now, I am not fond of militias either but there wasn't enough evidence to make the case. They were "taken care of". They were arrested and, even afterwards, found it difficult to obtain employment for some.
The lesson learned was they are out there, and still are. We have lots of militia's in Mi and across the US. Try and make any gun law and it won't be pretty. So they perhaps changed their names, and the leaders probably lived on welfare, by the looks of the trailer in the middle of nowhere.
At the time of the arrest there was big noise from many militia groups. The problem is that you can't just arrest people 'cuz you want to or 'cuz you don't like them. Either you have evidence or you don't.
FBI went undercover and heard how they were planning stuff. The top three spent 2 years in jail, time served. For some reason they were on the FBI radar. Wanted to add the militias pop up and raise hell every time the Democrats get the lead or a Dem Potus gets elected.
