Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 18, 2026 —

St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry has expanded his lawsuit against Mayor Kaohly Her, adding a retaliation claim and new allegations about the city’s handling of an investigation into the mayor’s conduct.

The original investigation found inappropriate workplace behavior, but it did not substantiate sexual harassment claims. Those are the findings described in the available summary; it does not provide details about the conduct investigators examined or explain how they reached their conclusions.

The new retaliation claim is part of the expanded lawsuit. The summary does not specify what actions Henry says were retaliatory, when they allegedly occurred, or which individuals he names in connection with the claim. It also does not detail the new allegations concerning the city’s handling of the investigation.

The information provided does not identify when Henry filed the lawsuit or its expansion, where the case is being heard, or what remedies he is seeking. It also does not include responses from Her or the city, or indicate whether either has addressed the newly added claims. No court ruling or other subsequent development is described.

The distinction between the investigation’s findings and the lawsuit’s allegations is important: the summary reports that investigators found inappropriate workplace behavior while not substantiating sexual harassment claims, and separately says Henry has added allegations to his lawsuit. It does not establish the truth of those new allegations or describe any court determination of the claims.
