Illegal Alien Who Ran From Law Is Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools

No wonder kids are coming out of public schools indoctrinated in hard left ideology and unable to read, write, or do math. Look who we have running them, even in red states in the Heartland:

An Iowa school district superintendent living in the United States illegally who also faces weapons charges was arrested Friday, authorities said.

Ian Andre Roberts, who heads the Des Moines Public Schools—the largest school district in the state—was taken into custody on a fugitive warrant. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents pursued Roberts after he sped away, authorities said.

He abandoned his vehicle and had to be chased down with dogs. Just like slave patrols, Jasmine Crockett must be screeching.

In the car, they found weapons and $3,000 in cash. No word on whether the money was hidden in a hollowed-out copy of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States.

Roberts entered the U.S. illegally from Guyana, authorities said. He last entered the country through New York on Aug. 30, 1999, on an F-1 student visa to attend St. John’s University in Queens.

Presumably DEI played are role in his ability to achieve the position of Superintendent for Des Moines Public Schools.

Roberts was not legally authorized to work in the U.S. after his employment authorization card expired in 2020, authorities said.

That’s okay; look how diverse he is:

NEW: ICE has arrested Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, an illegal alien from Guyana. Roberts was found in possession of a loaded handg*n, $3,000 in cash, and a fixed-blade hunting kn*fe, according to Fox News @BillMelugin_ .

Roberts was ordered deported last year. He has held his lofty public schools position since 2023.

Roberts also served on the board of the Directors Council, a local group comprised of several nonprofits focused on Des Moines’ Black community.

His involvement in race-based politics does not come as a surprise.

At the expense of American taxpayers, this position paid him well:

His current base salary exceeded $180,000 per year, and district officials were preparing to raise his base pay to $270,000. Over the course of his tenure, that means Roberts could have earned millions of dollars in taxpayer money while residing in the country illegally.

Now you know why your property taxes are so high.

No wonder liberals want to kill ICE agents. They have deprived our schools of an educrat certain to advance their ideology.
