Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national who was convicted of sexually asssaulting a woman while she was asleep in Minnesota, had avoided deportation for years after completing his prison sentence.
During that time, he got a job and was appointed an audit director at the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), where he used to check taxpayer spending and oversee internal accountability.
That was until June 27, 2025, when authorities arrested him for an unrelated offense.
Tindi, 42, who was in the country illegally, was convicted of criminal sexual conduct over a decade before being hired.
In December 2014, he admitted to entering a woman's apartment without permission and assaulting her while she slept. He would be ordered to leave the country multiple times but was later released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
According to Alpha News, which first reported the story, MDE confirmed that Tindi left that job on June 27, where he earned $145,074 annually, just as questions were being asked about his conviction for fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2016.
"Wilson Tindi is not a current employee at MDE," the department said in a statement. "He was a probationary employee in an internal role at MDE for approximately two and a half months. He did not interact with students, visit schools, or have access to provate student data."
Between the time of his arrest and subsequent conviction, Tindi's LinkedIn account said he was briefly an auditor for a healthcare company and then an "internal audit consultant."
According to the cirminal complaint filed at Hennepin County District Court, Minneapolis police responded to reports of an assault at an apartment building, where a woman claimed that a man had broken into her apartment and attacked her.
She told officers that she had felt someone touch her ... The man fled the apartment, but police processed the crime scene and found a fingerprint in the victim's bedroom that led them to Tindi.
It turns out that Tindi lived in the same building as the woman.
He was convicted in 2016 and sentenced to a two-year suspended sentence, but ordered to spend 210 days in the Hennepin County workhouse, with credit for five days already served.
He was also ordered to pay $1000 in restitution to the victim.
Records show that Tindi was first ordered to leave the country after he overstayed a six-month visa granted when he entered the United States in November 2005.
He was taken into custody by ICE in 2009 but released after filing a motion to reopen his immigration proceedings.
In 2014, Tindi was charged with burglary and sexual assault for attempting to sexually assault a woman in her apartment while she slept. He pleaded guilty to the assault, and the burglary charge was dropped as part of the plea agreement.
Following his conviction for ssault, a judge ordered that Tindi be deported to Kenya, his country of origin, in 2016. Records show that he then filed a petition for a writ of habeus corpus, arguing that he should be released as he posed no threat to the community and ICE could not hold him indefinitely.
A judge ruled in his favour, and he was relased in February 2018, having spent 18 months in ICE custody.
Tindi's criminal record also shows that he was arrested for drunk driving in 2022, a charge that was dismissed in favour of a careless driving plea.
What does "where he used to check taxpayer spending and oversee internal accountability" mean?
He was paid almost $150K a year to do this? WTH?
How did his fingerprint (left in his assault victim's apartment) "lead the police to Tindi" ?
Are foreign visitors fingerprinted for a 6-month visa?
Are those fingerprints entered into AFIS?
What is the name of the individual who released Tindi from ICE custody, after he "filed a motion to reopen his immigration proceedings" ?
What is the name of the judge who released Tindi from ICE custody in 2018, after he (Tindi) entered a writ of habeus corpus? And who advised Tindi to undertake this legal strategy, and who was paying the person who so advised him?
Questions, Questions, Questions, flooding into the mind of the concerned young person today. Ah, but it’s a great time to be alive, ladies and gentlemen. And that’s the theme of our program for tonight. It’s so ******* great to be alive! Is what the theme of our show is tonight, boys and girls. And I wanna tell ya, if there is anybody here who doesn’t believe that it is ******* great to be alive, I wish they would go now, because this show will bring them down so much.
Sounds like he is a close ally to Walz.
Gorgeous mosaic, and all that sort of thing, you know.
They new omnibus “Big Beautiful Bill” takes ICE funding from around $10 billion to $100 billion overall to build new detention centers, build a border wall, staff out new immigration courts, and grow border patrol staff
In the past, America mostly ignored mass illegal migration. The GOP did nothing, and of course, the Democrats and DC woke deep-state encouraged this lawlessness
No more. People like this Kenyan sex offender WILL be dealt with.
ICE had his fingerprints prior to his crime sexual assault crime. From the article:
He was taken into custody by ICE in 2009.
In December 2014, he admitted to entering a woman's apartment without permission and assaulting her while she slept. He would be ordered to leave the country multiple times but was later released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
The government lackeys knew exactly who he was and where he was but kept him in the country. They view him the same as they view the rest of us; just another tax and debt slave.
Thanks for that.
That make Tim Walz responsible.
Isn’t he lucky we are passive?
Hey! an UNconvicted Kenyan posed as “president” for 8 years in spite of being the worst mistake this country ever made.
Those judges and others in authority who allowed him to remain here should be prosecuted for dereliction of duty.
