DHS responds after viral Alpha News report on Kenyan sex offender in state government
The story of Wilson Tindi, a convicted sex offender and Kenyan national who rose to a leadership position in Minnesota’s Department of Education, has now caught the attention of federal immigration authorities.
After Alpha News broke the story on Monday, it exploded online, racking up millions of views, tens of thousands of shares, and drawing national outrage.
State legislators and major conservative accounts like Libs of TikTok reposted the story, putting pressure on officials to respond.
And now they are.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement to Libs of TikTok addressing the case directly, which the agency reposted on its X account:
“Under Tim Walz’s sanctuary city policies, this convicted sex offender and illegal alien was not just released into Minnesota communities but was paid U.S. taxpayer dollars and given access to innocent Americans that could be victimized and harmed. We will get this sicko and criminal illegal aliens out of American communities — sanctuary politicians be damned.”
Nonprofits weigh in on potential impacts to SNAP benefits under ‘Big Beautiful Bill’
There are concerns that restricting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could send more people to nonprofits, but those food providers are already seeing an increase in visitors, in part due to rising costs.
Some Twin Cities nonprofits explained that if more people lose SNAP benefits under President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” their demand will increase.
