School District Superintendent Raked in MILLIONS Before ICE Arrest | The Gateway Pundit | by Gregory Lyakhov

School District Superintendent Raked in MILLIONS Before ICE Arrest | The Gateway Pundit | by Gregory Lyakhov

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended Ian Roberts, the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, after he allegedly attempted to evade officers enforcing a deportation order against him.

Originally hailing from Guyana, Roberts has been living under a final deportation order since May 2024. Remarkably, he continued his role as the head of Iowa’s largest school district until his recent arrest.

The unsettling aspect of this situation is not merely the illegality of Roberts’ stay but also the high salary he accrued during this time.

Currently, his base salary exceeds $180,000, with plans to increase it to $270,000. Over his tenure, he could have potentially received millions in taxpayer funds while residing in the U.S. illegally.

The school district offered a terse statement asserting they had “no information” regarding the circumstances of Roberts’ arrest. However, this lacks relevance in light of the indisputable facts surrounding his situation.

Federal documentation clearly indicates that Roberts was under a removal order, yet the school board permitted him to preside over nearly 30,000 students and manage one of the state’s largest educational budgets.

Roberts’ record includes prior controversies, notably an incident involving a firearm for which details remain scant. Although this particular incident received attention months ago, fresh insights into his contract and substantial salary have heightened concerns.

As taxpayers and parents grapple with the implications of this situation, a pressing question arises: how did an individual facing deportation maintain his position and receive a six-figure salary funded by public resources?

Predictably, the political climate has sparked protests aimed at defending Roberts, casting him as a victim rather than an offender. This narrative conveniently overlooks a fundamental reality.

It is hardly justifiable for someone under deportation orders to receive a paycheck nearing $200,000, especially while the school board envisions even further salary increases.

Families are entitled to robust educational leadership, not a system that trivializes legal violations.

In the backdrop, neighboring Iowa school districts face their own scandals, including the dismissal of several teachers for making shocking remarks regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, indicating a broader issue of professionalism within education.

In stark contrast, Roberts’ predicament highlights a more alarming failure at the administrative level; the individual in charge of tens of thousands of students was operating without legal permission to be in the country.

This incident emphasizes the urgent need for educational reform. It is untenable for schools to be led by figures who disregard legal frameworks. Taxpayers should not bear the financial burden of six-figure salaries for individuals who are in the United States unlawfully.

Parents should not be asked to place their confidence in a system that tolerates misconduct, from classroom infractions to the highest administrative offices.

The arrest of Ian Roberts serves as a stark reminder that public education has strayed from its commitment to accountability.
