Former Des Moines Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts has been detained by ICE and faces federal charges stemming from a firearms offense following his immigration arrest. Roberts, who allegedly falsified his educational credentials, including a non-existent doctorate, was already under scrutiny when it was revealed that he remained an active voter in Maryland despite his illegal status. His arrest has sparked significant protests from students and members of the community, leading to calls for accountability from local lawmakers and the Des Moines Public Schools Board. In the wake of his detention, Roberts has resigned from his position, while the school board considers legal action against him. As the situation unfolds, key questions remain about the hiring practices that allowed Roberts to assume leadership despite his misleading background.
