Members
of the Michigan-based Hutaree militia, who plotted to overthrow the
government and kill police in a violent coup, have filed a lawsuit
against FBI and Michigan State Police officers, claiming their
constitutional rights were violated when their homes were raided and
guns confiscated.
They’re seeking at least $25,000 in damages for each of the lawsuit’s 16 counts.
The
lawsuit, which was filed by acquitted members of the homegrown militia
in U.S. District Court in Detroit, are seeking no less than $25,000 in
damages.
The
Hutaree believed President Barack Obama to be the Antichrist and
espoused dreams of creating a “Colonial Christian Republic.” They were
arrested in March 2010 after details of their plot were uncovered by
federal agents.
Plaintiffs
Michael Meeks and Thomas Piatek, along with Meeks’ parents Eugene and
Sylvia Meeks, and sister Gabrielle Neely, claim FBI agents and a State
Police officer showed a “reckless disregard” for their “rights” when
raiding their home.
