Liberal lunacy: Foreign-born rapist becomes education director in Walz's Minnesota



Liberal wokeness appears to have no bounds in Minnesota, the home of radicals like Rep. Ilhan Omar, a male state representative who pretends to be a woman, and, of course, 2024 failed vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz.

Now, an exclusive report from Alpha News has revealed that a foreign national who overstayed his visa became a director at the Minnesota Department of Education after he served a sentence for felony sexual assault.

A criminal legal alien

Wilson Nduri Tindi, a 42-year-old native of Kenya, began working for the state of Minnesota as a principal auditor in 2018, according to his LinkedIn profile, and eventually rose through the ranks to become the director of the Internal Audit and Advisory Services division of the Minnesota Department of Education. He also previously worked as the chief audit officer at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, according to an archived version of his MDE bio.

In November 2015, just three years prior to beginning his job with the state, Tindi submitted a petition to plead guilty to felony fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with a disturbing incident.

'You like this.'

On November 23, 2014, Tindi broke into the residence of a woman living below him in his Minneapolis apartment complex, court records claim. He then proceeded to assault another woman who happened to be sleeping over that night.

The victim awoke to Tindi touching her genitals and buttocks over her underwear before attempting to remove her underwear, court records indicated. A latent fingerprint from the scene matched Tindi's prints, which were on file.

When questioned, Tindi insisted he had been in his apartment all night. He "could not provide any explanation for why his fingerprint would be inside the other unit," court documents said.

Tindi agreed to plead guilty to criminal sexual conduct in exchange for prosecutors dropping a first-degree burglary charge. He was given a two-year sentence, which was stayed for five years, and was ordered to register as a predatory offender, Alpha News reported. It appears he served 210 days at Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility.

Court documents from that incident also suggest he had committed a similar assault in 2012. In that case, a woman awoke to find Tindi allegedly on top of her and penetrating her "with his finger and his mouth," the documents said. When she begged him to stop, he allegedly retorted, "You like this."

Tindi was never charged in connection with the 2012 case, though prosecutors introduced it in the 2014 case as Spreigl evidence meant to demonstrate a pattern of behavior.

And while these incidents are more than a decade old, they are not Tindi's only run-ins with the law. Just last month, Tindi was arrested after allegedly driving under the influence and then refusing a field sobriety test. He was assessed a bail of $12,000.

Jail records indicate he posted bond and was released from custody on June 10, three days after the arrest. He has been charged with three misdemeanors.

Tindi fights deportation — and wins

Tindi's immigration history indicates that he also tried to exploit the American court system and its attending appeals processes to stay in the country even after violating its laws.

According to documents related to a habeas corpus petition Tindi filed in 2018, Tindi entered the U.S. in 2005 on a B-2 visitor visa that allowed him to remain in the country legally for six months. When the six months expired, Tindi did not leave and instead applied for permanent residency. That application was denied in 2007.

'The government has provided no evidence that he is a flight risk or a danger to the community.'

ICE began processing him for removal the following year, and an immigration judge ordered him to be removed in 2009. However, an immigration judge then reversed the removal order in 2011, and Tindi became a lawful permanent resident in April 2014, just six months before he assaulted the sleeping woman.

Because of his aggravated felony conviction, removal orders were once again initiated for Tindi, and he was transferred from jail to ICE custody in August 2016. Though Tindi appealed, the Board of Immigration Appeals later upheld his removal, and a final order of removal was issued in May 2017.

Tindi then filed yet another appeal, this time for his conviction, arguing that he would never have pleaded guilty if he had known the conviction would jeopardize his ability to remain in the U.S. Federal courts later stayed his removal while the appeals process continued, and a magistrate judge recommended that Tindi's habeas corpus petition be granted.

In February 2018, Judge David Doty agreed with the magistrate judge and granted the habeas corpus petition. In his decision, Doty claimed, "The government has provided no evidence that he is a flight risk or a danger to the community," even though the decision likewise noted the 2014 burglary charge and the subsequent assault conviction.

Blaze News reached out to Judge Doty for comment.

Blaze News also reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to see whether it is looking into Tindi's case once again.

Silence from the state

It is unclear whether officials at the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency were aware of Tindi's violent history when they hired him.

Tindi's LinkedIn profile indicates he began working for the state in September 2018, nearly four years after the sexual assault, and was named chief audit officer in December 2023. The profile makes no specific mention of the state education department or the pollution regulation agency.

His bio also claimed he is 'passionate about ... building trust through transparency.'

Blaze News reached out to the MPCA, the office of Education Commissioner Willie Jett, as well as to Lee Her — the director of public engagement at MDE — for answers about what they knew about Tindi and when they knew it. We did not receive a response by deadline.

According to an archived version of his MDE bio, Tindi was responsible for "establishing and overseeing an independent internal audit function focused on evaluating risk management, governance, and compliance across the agency." His bio also claimed he is "passionate about ... building trust through transparency, collaboration, and a strong focus on adding value across the organization" (emphasis added).

His online bio appears to have been removed shortly after the Alpha News report broke. The Wayback Machine screenshot of his erstwhile profile provided by Alpha News is dated June 17, 2025.

On June 17, Tindi's profile was still listed among the list of directors with the MDE commissioner's office. As of Tuesday, Tindi is no longer listed there.

Blaze News reached out to Tindi's MDE email address and received an automatic reply, stating, "Wilson Tindi is no longer with MDE." Blaze News also reached out to an email address Tindi provided on a previous court document but did not receive a response.

As MDE remains under the general purview of the governor and some senior positions at state agencies are filled by appointment or with recommendations from influential individuals, Blaze News reached out to Democratic Gov. Tim Walz for comment.

Walz's office did not respond.

ICC Prosecutor Who Sought To Arrest Netanyahu Takes Leave Amid Sexual Assault Charges

International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who sought an arrest warrant against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's war against the terrorist group Hamas, announced Friday that he is temporarily stepping down as the United Nations investigates sexual assault allegations against him.

The post ICC Prosecutor Who Sought To Arrest Netanyahu Takes Leave Amid Sexual Assault Charges appeared first on .

Tucker Carlson implores Trump admin to 'rescue' Russell Brand ahead of 'absurd' UK trial



Tucker Carlson said Friday that the Trump administration should come to Russell Brand's "rescue," suggesting that the actor and populist commentator slapped with sexual assault charges last month "has no shot at a fair trial because Britain is no longer a free country."

The Metropolitan Police of London announced on April 4 that Britain's Crown Prosecution Service authorized them to charge Brand, 49, with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault.

Police first launched their investigation in September 2023 after a trio of liberal media outfits — the Sunday Times, the Times (U.K.), and Channel 4 — detailed sexual misconduct allegations against Brand raised by four women.

One woman claimed Brand raped her in 1999; another said she was indecently assaulted in 2001; a third claimed she was orally raped and assaulted in 2004; and a fourth woman claimed she was sexually assaulted between 2004 and 2005. The accusers have not been identified.

Brand, who remarried after his divorce from Katy Perry and now has three children, denied the allegations and stressed that all of his relationships have been consensual. He insinuated further that there may be an insidious "agenda at play" aimed at silencing him.

'He criticized the government for using Covid to turn the UK into a totalitarian state.'

Around the time that Channel 4 originally debuted the sexual assault allegations, the British government attempted to pressure Rumble and other social media platforms to prevent Brand from being able to monetize his online content.

According to Canadian state media, Rumble called the request "extremely disturbing" and indicated it would not "join a cancel culture mob."

Whereas Rumble stood firm against statist pressure, YouTube suspended monetization of Brand's channel, citing harmful off-platform behavior despite the absence of a court conviction.

Carlson noted in his Friday post, which was subsequently shared by the accused, that Brand was a darling of the British liberal establishment until "he criticized the government for using Covid to turn the UK into a totalitarian state" at which point "the accolades abruptly stopped."

"A government TV station accused Brand of committing sex crimes against anonymous women they refused to name. Government officials called for his opinions to be scrubbed from the internet," continued Carlson. "Last month, British prosecutors charged Brand with rape and sexual assault. None of the charges are backed by hard evidence. All of them supposedly took place more than 20 years ago, one of them in the 1990s."

'I KNOW I'm innocent.'

"The entire case is transparently political and absurd, a near-identical replay of the fake rape charges authorities brought against Julian Assange 15 years ago," added Carlson.

Carlson made his plea within hours of Brand's Friday appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, where Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring reportedly granted Brand bail — on the condition that he keeps the court informed of where he is staying in the U.S. or U.K. — and ordered him to appear at the Central Criminal Court on May 30.

Ahead of his 12-minute-long court appearance, Brand noted, "If you're innocent, you WELCOME scrutiny. I welcome a trial — gladly — because I KNOW I'm innocent."

"Over the last few years, millions of foreigners have applied for asylum in the United States. Russell Brand actually deserves it. Say a prayer that the Trump administration comes to his rescue," wrote Carlson.

Noncitizen charged with rape became California cop despite domestic violence arrest, thanks to Gavin Newsom: Report



Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom (Calif.) ratified legislation in September 2022 scrapping the requirement that police, highway patrol, and corrections officers in California have to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.

Felipe Gomes, one of the foreign nationals who took full advantage of Newsom's law, was arrested last week on suspicion of rape, reported the Palo Alto Daily Post.

Redwood City Police arrested Gomes at the Belmont Police Department headquarters on April 22, according to RCPD Sgt. Victor Figueroa. Gomes was reportedly charged under penal code 261 (a) (1), which concerns knowingly having sexual intercourse with an individual incapable of giving consent because of a mental disorder or developmental or physical disability.

The Brazilian national was booked into the San Mateo County Office Main Jail then later released on a $100,000 bail bond.

Belmont Police Lt. Pete Lotti indicated that Gomes was terminated the following day.

The foreign national took his oath of office on Dec. 10 during a Belmont City Council ceremony. When introducing his new recruits, Belmont Police Chief Ken Stenquist noted, "He was in the Brazilian Air Force and part of their air force police. He was a full-time police soldier and left that position when he moved to the United States. He enjoys practicing jiu jitsu and attending church when he's not working."

According to KGO-TV, prior to hiring Gomes, Chief Stenquist received warnings from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office and the East Palo Alto Police Department that they had both rejected the Brazilian national on account of his 2017 domestic violence arrest.

'You don't want someone who in a family setting, you know, violence is a place they can escalate to.'

The charging affidavit reviewed by KGO alleged that one year into his marriage, Gomes — who is not an American citizen but apparently has a U.S. work permit — brutally beat his wife, striking her repeatedly in the face and stomach. Gomes had allegedly done so after seeing text messages on his wife's phone from her ex-boyfriend.

An officer reported at the time seeing a "large bruise that covered most of (his wife's) left cheek and scratches to her right cheek."

The state attorney reportedly factored in Gomes' claims that his wife hit and scratched him first, charged both husband and wife with battery/domestic violence, and ultimately dropped the charges.

Chief Stenquist told KGO's Dan Noyes, "Past law enforcement contact that does not result in charges are not disqualifying in of itself under policies or applicable law."

Former San Francisco Police Department commander and head of recruitment Rich Corriea noted that in such circumstances, the charges are often dropped, and that the incident should still be disqualifying.

"You don't want someone who in a family setting, you know, violence is a place they can escalate to," Corriea told KGO. "You want just the opposite. You want natural de-escalators."

In addition to casting doubt about whether Stenquist made the right call to hire Gomes, Corriea suggested that the recruitment of foreign nationals is a risky business as American-style justice and civil rights may be alien to them.

"You better make sure that you ... are hiring people that get the many nuances of the role of a police officer," said Corriea. "There's no one else, as far as I know, in our entire society that carries a gun and has the authority to shoot you under certain circumstances."

The Brazilian national will reportedly return to the San Mateo County Superior Court for an arraignment on May 21.

California Bill Highlights Epidemic Of Male Rapists Transferring To Women’s Prisons

Laws and policies that permit men to be housed with women leave female prisoners to live in fear 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no ability to escape.

Previously deported Brazilian woman arrested and charged with child rape, assault, and incest



A Brazilian national – who was previously deported – was arrested by federal law enforcement officers for allegedly raping and assaulting a child, according to authorities.

Ilma Leandro De Oliveira, a 53-year-old woman from Brazil, was arrested on March 20 in Falmouth, Massachusetts, by officers and agents with the Boston divisions of ICE, the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

"Ilma Leandro De Oliveira is charged with seven different crimes regarding the sexual victimization of a child in our Massachusetts community."

De Oliveira was charged with the rape of a child, reckless endangerment of a child, indecent exposure, indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, unnatural acts with a child, aggravated statutory rape of a child, and incest.

De Oliveira was previously deported before returning to the United States.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced in a statement released this week that the U.S. Border Patrol arrested De Oliveira on Sept. 20, 2007. ICE noted that De Oliveira illegally entered the United States near Laredo, Texas. The Border Patrol reportedly served her a notice and order of expedited removal.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde said De Oliveira illegally re-entered the U.S. on an unknown date, at an unknown location, and without being inspected, admitted, or paroled by a U.S. immigration official.

Hyde declared, "Ilma Leandro De Oliveira is charged with seven different crimes regarding the sexual victimization of a child in our Massachusetts community. These are crimes we simply will not tolerate."

Hyde proclaimed, "ICE Boston will continue to prioritize the safety of our children by arresting and removing any criminal alien who poses a threat to our New England residents."

ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations in San Antonio removed De Oliveira from the United States to Brazil on Dec. 27, 2007.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said De Oliveira was served with a notice of intent/decision to reinstate a prior removal order.

ICE said De Oliveira is expected to also be prosecuted for illegal re-entry after deportation.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced this week that 206 illegal aliens had been arrested between April 6 and April 12 in a New York City sting.

ICE noted that more than half of the migrants arrested had significant criminal convictions or are currently facing charges for crimes like murder, assault, arson, rape, drugs, and illegal firearms. One of the illegal immigrants who was arrested is a 22-year-old member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang.

"The majority of the aliens arrested have egregious criminal histories to include manslaughter, rape, assault, drug trafficking, and sex assault against minors," stated Judith Almodovar, the acting field office director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations New York City.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said last week's operation "targeted the most dangerous alien offenders in some of the most crime-infested neighborhoods."

Child molesters can now be marched in front of firing squads in Idaho



A month after making firing squads the Gem State's primary method of execution, Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) passed a law last week granting judges and juries the ability to sentence convicted pedophiles to the death penalty.

Republican Gov. Brad Little said upon ratifying the legislation making child rape a death penalty offense, "Just like capital murder destroys lives, aggravated sexual abuse of a young child devastates victims and families for generations. The sexual abuse of children is sickening and evil, and perpetrators convicted of these crimes deserve the ultimate punishment."

Idaho House Bill 380, sponsored by Republican state Reps. Bruce Skaug and Josh Tanner, sets a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 25 years, with the possibility of life in prison, for the molestation of a minor ages 13-16 by an adult if two of 14 aggravating factors are present.

Aggravating factors include whether:

  • the victim was kidnapped;
  • the pedophile cause great bodily harm to the victim;
  • the pedophile was engaged in human trafficking;
  • the pedophile was already a registered sex offender;
  • the pedophile was in a position of trust, had a supervisory or disciplinary power over the victim, or at the time of the offense had parental/custodial authority over the child;
  • the victim used coercion; and/or
  • the victim was choked during the commission of the lewd conduct.

Alternatively, an adult pedophile found guilty of engaging in aggravated lewd conduct with a child 12 or under shall now be punished by life in prison or by death if a pair of similar factors are present. The list of aggravating factors in such cases also includes any form of penile penetration as well as repeat incidents involving the same victim.

'Idaho will not tolerate these offenses.'

Idaho previously allowed the death penalty only in first-degree murder cases with aggravating factors.

Prior to its passage, Skaug told his colleagues on the Idaho House Judiciary, Rules and Administration Committee, "Idaho currently has some of the most lenient statutes for child molestation and child rape in the nation," reported the Idaho Capital Sun.

"This legislation establishes a strong deterrent, making it clear Idaho will not tolerate these offenses," added Skaug.

The legislation passed the state House unopposed. In the state Senate, however, three Democrats — Sens. Alison Rabe, Ron Taylor, and Melissa Wintrow — and two Republicans — Sens. Phil Hart and Daniel Foreman — voted against the bill.

Gov. Little noted in a April 1 statement, "I commend my partners in the Legislature for strengthening Idaho's already powerful 'tough on crime' reputation among the state."

The Idaho Capital Sun noted that Idaho lawmakers expect a legal challenge, given that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 2008 5-4 decision that sentencing a pedophile to death for raping a child is unconstitutional in cases where the victim was not killed.

Former Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion, "The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child," and added that "in most cases justice is not better served by terminating the life of the perpetrator rather than confining him and preserving the possibility that he and the system will find ways to allow him to understand the enormity of his offense."

Democratic state lawmakers around the country appear keen to soften penalties for those monsters who prey on children.

Colorado Democrats, for instance, voted in 2023 against a bill making indecent exposure to children a felony and killed another piece of legislation last year that would have mandated minimum sentences for predators who buy children for sexual exploitation.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom ratified legislation in 2020 that enabled judges to go easy on non-straight pedophiles convicted of sex crimes against teenage minors.

'We really believe that part of a just society is to have appropriate punishment.'

Last year, California Democrats, state Sen. Scott Wiener in particular, unsuccessfully fought against Republican legislation that would impose harsher penalties against perverts who pay for sex with children. According to CBS News, Wiener, an LGBT activist, figured the legislation "could target the wrong people by punishing young adults in consensual relationships with minors."

In March, Virginia Democrats killed legislation that would prevent sex offenders from loitering within state parks or places where they could find themselves around children, including near playgrounds, athletic field, day-care centers, or gymnasiums.

It's a different story in red states such as Florida, Tennessee, and Idaho, where pedophiles now run the risk of death by acting on their sick desires.

In 2023, Florida passed a law imposing the death penalty for child rapists.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis stated, "We really believe that part of a just society is to have appropriate punishment. And so, if you commit a crime that is really, really heinous, you should have the ultimate punishment."

Despite Democratic opposition, Tennessee Republicans successfully advanced House Bill 1663 last year, enabling trial judges and juries to put child rapists six feet under.

The legislation, ratified in May 2024 by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R), mandates either a sentence of death, imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole, or life imprisonment for an adult pedophile convicted of rape of a child ages 8-13. A pedophile convicted of aggravated rape of a child 8 or younger must now necessarily receive the death penalty or life imprisonment without parole.

Alabama appears poised to become the next state to add child rape to its list of capital offenses. The state House voted 86-5 in February for a bill that would allow the imposition of the death penalty in cases where an adult convict victimized a child under 12.

Leftist Lawfare Aims To Keep Illegally Present Murderers And Child Rapists Roaming U.S. Streets

How cops lured a pastor to city hall to arrest him on charges of unnatural intercourse, statutory rape, and child pornography



A Mississippi pastor has been arrested on accusations of several child sex crimes, according to police.

Christopher Willett, a pastor at the First Presbyterian Church in Crystal Springs, was arrested Tuesday.

Following an investigation, police reportedly executed search warrants on Willett's vehicles, laptops, cell phones, and house.

Crystal Springs Police Chief Robert Thomas revealed how and why law enforcement thought it was necessary to lure the pastor to city hall as a safety precaution.

The Clarion-Ledger reported, "Thomas said police arrested Willett on Tuesday by asking him to come to City Hall under the pretense of discussing other matters. This approach was deemed necessary for safety precautions due to Willett's known possession of firearms in his home."

Thomas said of the arrest of Willett, "There was no fight, no refusal ... no struggle. We put the handcuffs on him, brought him to the police department, and put him in the interrogation room, where he refused to talk."

Willett, an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in America, is being held in the Copiah County Jail with no bond.

According to WAPT-TV, Willett was charged with statutory rape, sexual battery, unnatural intercourse, computer luring of a person, and child pornography.

On March 7, the alleged female victim went to the Crystal Springs Police Station with a psychologist — a friend of the victim's family.

Chief Thomas said the victim told investigators that Willet had molested her.

Thomas told the Clarion-Ledger that the alleged child sex abuse began when the victim was 15 years old; the victim is now 19 years old.

Following an investigation, police reportedly executed search warrants on Willett's vehicles, laptops, cell phones, and house.

Law enforcement interviewed the alleged victim a second time for approximately 90 minutes, in which she detailed additional child sex abuse accusations against the pastor. Soon after the interview, police filed child sex crime charges against Willett.

While Thomas noted that the charges are "only accusations," he also stressed that "the evidence we have against him is pretty substantial."

The Clarion-Ledger said it reached out to determine if Willett still is employed at the church but that there wasn't a timely response.

Willett is still featured on the First Presbyterian Church website as a pastor and teaching elder. His bio on the website of First Presbyterian Church in Crystal Springs reads: "Before moving to Crystal Springs to become the Senior Pastor in October of 2020, he held the offices of Pastoral Intern and Assistant Pastor at Pinewood Presbyterian Church in Middleburg, Florida, for 5 years. He then served as the Senior/Solo Pastor of Columbia Presbyterian Church in Columbia, Mississippi, for 3 years."

The church site adds that "Chris served in the U.S. Air Force as a Weather Forecaster, and earned a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies (Humanities, Communication, and Business Management) from New York Institute of Technology, and obtained his Master’s of Divinity at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando."

The bio also says Willett married his wife, Jennifer, in 2000. They have a daughter together.

"When he is not studying for and writing sermons, planning ministries, or working around the church and home, he enjoys watching shows with his wife, playing board games and video games with his daughter, reading (fiction, comics, and non-fiction), all things 'Star Wars,' and being a Stormtrooper," the church page says of Willett.
