Let me tell you about how things work in my state. 

Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan citizen, committed a sex offense--he broke into a woman's home and sexually assaulted her 10 years ago. After having been detained by ICE, a judge decided that he was not deportable and let him back onto the streets, even though he pleaded guilty to the crime. 

Bad enough, but it gets worse. He was subsequently hired by the State of Minnesota and wound up with a cushy job at the Minnesota Department of Education. After all, we need more cultural enrichment in this still predominantly white state, and who better to enrich our culture than a Kenyan sex offender?

Liz Collin, a reporter at our local independent news organization, Alpha News, had the opportunity to do a ride-along with ICE, and Tindi happened to be the first on the list of ICE's list to be picked up by Trump's new ICE enforcement teams.

Will justice be done this time, or will a judge toss him back out onto the streets?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE, has been on the move every day across Minnesota—making twice as many arrests under President Donald Trump than under the previous administration.

Alpha News senior reporter Liz Collin was given a rare opportunity to ride along with ICE officers from the St. Paul field office, which covers Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska.

Aside from dealing with dangerous criminals, Alpha News heard how some policies and politics are making an already demanding job even more dangerous. ... 

The first stop was an address in Plymouth: 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.

Tindi, a Kenyan national, was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in the Twin Cities after breaking into her home. Tindi pled guilty to the crime 10 years ago. A judge ordered his removal from the United States. But a federal judge ultimately ruled that Tindi’s removal was not warranted. After spending 18 months in ICE custody, Tindi was released and then landed taxpayer-funded positions at two separate Minnesota state agencies.

“With any type of lawful, permanent resident, we have to work with our legal team to make sure the conviction would qualify for removability from the U.S. So, it did take us a lot of time and a lot of research with help from our legal team, who are amazing. We did come up with an immigration charge because of his [Tindi’s] criminality,” Olson explained.

Agents moved in as soon as Tindi opened his garage door. He was quickly put in handcuffs—next to his BMW.

I'm glad that I have had the opportunity to help Tindi have a better life than he would have had in Kenya. After all, he bought that BMW with my tax dollars.

State officials and the lefties in my state have been working hard to ensure that Tindi and others like him remain in my state. They have been ginning up a lot of hate against ICE, calling them the Gestapo and encouraging assaults on law enforcement officers working to clean up our streets. 

Criminals are cultural enrichers. 

This time, everything went smoothly, but many situations have escalated in the past. From assaults on officers, online doxing, and threats to family members, resistance against ICE now comes in many forms.

“We’ve been encountering a lot more resistance in the field. Assaults on officers and uses of force are up astronomically. I’ve seen it close to like an increase of 1,000 percent on assaults on officers,” Olson said.

He also pointed out that “one of the frustrating things we’ve seen is we’re not only getting the assaults from the people we’re arresting, but we’re starting to get them from bystanders, people not involved in the arrest.”

“That’s been very unfortunate when we’re out just trying to lawfully conduct an arrest that we’re getting bystanders who may not agree with what we’re doing but they’re interfering and obstructing,” Olson said. “So, I’ve been instructing our officers when they get that resistance, if it rises to a level that we can arrest, we will arrest and prosecute people who are trying to impede us from doing our job.”

The opposition to deporting criminals is nothing new, of course, given that Democrats are all about labeling criminals as victims, but since Trump got reelected, they have turned up the hatred of law enforcement up to 11. 

If we deport sex offenders, who will run our education system?
