Iowa School Superintendent Ian Roberts Arrested by ICE, License Revoked and Placed on Leave
Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district, has been arrested by ICE for allegedly living and working in the United States illegally. Following his arrest, the Des Moines Public School Board voted to place him on unpaid leave and revoked his educational license. Roberts, previously cited for weapons charges and found with a loaded handgun at the time of his arrest, may also face deportation. His detention has sparked protests and community support, raising questions about his background checks and voter registration status as a non-citizen in a predominantly blue state.
