The arrest of Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts last week has ignited a firestorm in Iowa’s capital, as federal officials allege the longtime educator was living and working in the country illegally, despite holding one of the state’s most prominent and well-compensated public sector jobs.
Roberts, 54, was detained Friday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after fleeing a traffic stop and abandoning his district-issued vehicle near a wooded area. Authorities say they found him carrying a loaded handgun, a hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Roberts is a native of Guyana who overstayed a student visa and was ordered deported by an immigration judge in May of last year.
