The Justice Department took former Des Moines, Iowa, Public Schools Superintendent who was illegally living in the US as an ICE fugitive into custody on Thursday.
ICE agents last Friday arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, Public Schools – an illegal alien from Guyana with a prior weapons arrest.
According to Fox News, Ian Andre Roberts was an active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024. As soon as ICE agents identified themselves, Roberts fled in his car and sped off. He then abandoned his car and fled on foot. Federal agents found him hiding in shrubbery and took him into custody.
Agents found a loaded handgun and a fixed-blade hunting knife in Roberts’ vehicle.

Ian Roberts has been receiving mail-in ballots at his Maryland address since 2020 – and of course, he’s a registered Democrat.
Roberts is now in federal custody on immigration and gun charges.
Fox News reported:
The former Iowa school district superintendent detained by immigration authorities last week has been taken into custody by the Justice Department.
Ian Roberts, who led Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS), was no longer in the custody of the Woodbury County Jail in Sioux City, about 150 miles northwest of Des Moines, Sheriff Chad Sheehan said.
Roberts was taken into federal custody on an arrest warrant and made his first court appearance, the Justice Department said. He is charged with being unlawfully present in the United States while possessing firearms.
Federal prosecutors said Roberts, 54, was found with four firearms on Sept. 26 while living in the country illegally. He will remain detained in federal custody pending further proceedings.
