State Patrol reviewing its response to alleged ‘stalking’ incident of federal employee Alpha News has learned that the Minnesota State Patrol is internally reviewing its response to an alleged stalking incident of a federal employee that occurred the day after Christmas, which the victim claims put them at risk in an emergency situation. Based on a tip received from a person wishing to remain unnamed, the tipster described to Alpha News that on Dec. 26, 2025, a non-ICE federal employee left the Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling and was aggressively followed by a vehicle. The employee called 911, and various dispatch centers were attempting to determine his location and send officers. The information in the tip said the employee was on a state highway or interstate and that State Patrol was asked to assist. The State Patrol supervisor allegedly stated via radio that they would not assist and the employee/victim should be directed off the highway because the State Patrol wants “nothing to do with ICE.” Alpha News reached out to the State Patrol for comment, and a spokesperson provided the following response: “We take any report of someone feeling threatened seriously and encourage anyone who believes they are in danger on Minnesota roads to call 911 so the appropriate law enforcement agency can respond. This incident is under internal review. We are reviewing this incident to identify improvements and ensure our staff have the clarity and coordination needed to respond effectively in future situations to dangerous driving conduct on the roadways. The Minnesota State Patrol’s mission is traffic safety and incident response on Minnesota roadways. Troopers are deployed consistent with that mission and within state law.”
