Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released the full criminal and immigration record of Ian Roberts, the illegal alien who somehow became the school superintendent in Des Moines, Iowa.
It’s a long record. The New York Post called his past a “sordid” one of “sex, lies and DEI payouts.”
ICE arrested Roberts last week, and he resigned his nearly $300,000-a-year post shortly thereafter.
For its part, the Des Moines public school system is suing the company that was supposed to vet Roberts before he was hired.
Criminal Record
Roberts’ education career ended after ICE arrested the illegal alien from Guyana on September 26. The arrest cost him a $270,000-per-year salary plus generous fringe benefits.
Roberts was arrested with a loaded gun, a hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash, and tried to flee ICE when he was stopped. It turned out that he lied to the school board about his citizenship, and was registered to vote in Maryland. He falsely claimed to have earned a doctorate.
Now, ICE has revealed the details about his lengthy criminal career, aside from the charge of being an illegal alien in possession of a gun.
On July 3, 1996, in New York, he faced “charges for criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument,” ICE reported.
In November 1998, he faced a charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle in Queens, New York. The charge was later dismissed.
Fourteen years later, in Maryland, he was convicted of speeding, reckless driving, and unsafe operation.
