After Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained Roberts last week, alleging he was living and working in the United States illegally, Roberts was being held at the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office jail in Sioux City, Iowa.
“As of Thursday October 2, 2025, Ian Roberts is no longer in the custody of the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office jail. Mr. Roberts was taken into custody by the United States Department of Justice on a Federal warrant for his arrest,” Woodbury County Sheriff Chad Sheehan said in a statement.
The DOJ did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment on where Roberts is now being held.
