Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 1, 2026 — St. Paul city leaders are currently reviewing the findings of a report concerning alleged policy violations by Mayor Kaohly Her. The report, details of which are under review by city officials, determined that Mayor Her did violate city policy. However, the same report did not substantiate sexual harassment claims that were made by Police Chief Axel Henry.
The review of this report follows a significant development where Police Chief Axel Henry has filed a lawsuit naming both Mayor Her and the city as defendants. This legal action has introduced considerable fallout within city governance and has prompted calls for decisive action from various city officials.
Information regarding the specific nature of the policy violations, the timeline of events leading to the report, or the exact dates of the alleged incidents was not immediately available or detailed in the initial summary. Similarly, the report’s conclusions regarding the sexual harassment claims by Chief Henry were stated as unsubstantiated, without further elaboration on the evidence considered or the reasons for this finding.
The lawsuit filed by Chief Henry marks a critical juncture in the ongoing situation. The summary provided does not specify the grounds for the lawsuit beyond the mention of sexual harassment claims against the Mayor and the city, nor does it detail any requested damages or legal remedies.
As St. Paul leaders engage with the report’s findings and the ongoing legal proceedings, the situation is expected to evolve. The extent of the policy violations and the implications of the unsubstantiated harassment claims on the relationship between the Mayor’s office and the police department remain subjects of attention. The summary does not provide information on next steps or proposed actions by city leaders in response to the report and the lawsuit.
