Former Minneapolis police officer Alex Kueng has asked a federal judge to end his supervised release early, arguing he has fully complied with probation terms and poses no threat to public safety.
In a motion filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court, Kueng’s attorney, Thomas Plunkett, called continued supervision “a waste of a precious correctional asset,” noting Kueng has remained compliant since his release from prison earlier this year.
Alex Kueng has asked a judge to end his probation early. Meanwhile, the Minnesota media continues to cover up the lies.
“Alex is coming back to a city that still has this huge boil of deceit covering it…”

Kueng, 30, was convicted by a federal jury in February 2024 on two counts of depriving George Floyd of his constitutional rights during the fatal arrest in May 2020. It was Kueng’s third day on the job.
“I think, unfortunately, we’ve come to the point now where the justice system has been controlled by a mob mentality,” Kueng told Alpha News in an exclusive interview for the documentary, “The Fall of Minneapolis.”
Kueng was released from prison in January after serving three and a half years and has been under federal supervision since.
“Mr. Kueng now respectfully asks this Court to terminate his probation effectively immediately,” the motion states.
Plunkett’s filing acknowledges that Kueng’s supervising probation officer opposes the request but does not provide a reason for the objection.
The motion was filed under federal statutes that allow for early termination of supervision if the defendant has shown good conduct and no longer requires oversight.
It is now up to U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson to decide whether to grant the request.
