Minnesota’s Alpha News reports:
EXCLUSIVE: Alpha News rides along with ICE, captures arrest of former state employee on camera.
Reporter Liz Collin witnessed the arrest firsthand. She reports:
The first stop was an address in Plymouth [MN] the home of Wilson Tindi—a convicted sex offender and former director at the Minnesota Department of Education. Alpha News exposed Tindi in June, as part of an investigative report that sparked a firestorm online about the state’s hiring practices.
You will recall that Tindi, a Kenyan national, served as a senior career executive at two (2) state agencies, despite a felony sex crime conviction and his status as an illegal alien.
Tindi is no longer employed by state government.
Collin reports that today’s arrest of Tindi occurred after a lengthy federal investigation of his complicated legal and immigration history, which we summarized previously. I’ve been following his case here.
Since Alpha News broke this story at the end of June, we still have not gotten any explanation as to how a man with Tindi’s background rose to occupy the highest rank in the state’s career civil service. Minnesota officials continue to hide behind “privacy laws” in refusing to discuss the case.
