<p>The illegal immigrant superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa claimed to have six children with five different mothers on an immigration application, three of whom were born within a year of each other, sources told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Ian Andre Roberts of Guyana, who had a deportation order from May 2024, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Friday, <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-arrests-criminal-alien-serving-des-moines-public-schools-superintendent-prior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the agency.</p>
<p>Roberts previously tried to apply for immigration status after overstaying his student visa, which was issued in 1999, according to sources. The application, which listed his children and lovers, was later denied, according to sources.</p>
<p>Two of his children are 11 years old, while the others are 12, 18, 22 and 30, sources said, citing his immigration paperwork. The oldest child was born in Guyana, while the five others were born in the United States.</p>
<p>Following the arrest, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations St. Paul Field Office Director Sam Olson questioned how Roberts was hired, given his lack of immigration status.</p>
<p>“This should be a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats. How this illegal alien was hired without work authorization, a final order of removal, and a prior weapons charge is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district,” Olson said.</p>
<p>Roberts also had weapons charges from Feb. 5, 2020, according to ICE.</p>

<p>The law firm assisting Roberts with his case did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment.</p>
<p>When he was initially approached by the ICE officers, Roberts fled in his vehicle, later found abandoned in the nearby woods, according to ICE. The officers eventually tracked him down with the help of the state police.</p>
<p>At the time of the arrest, officers found that Roberts was carrying a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash, and a fixed-blade hunting knife, according to ICE.</p>
<p>The feds are investigating how Roberts was able to obtain a firearm since illegal immigrants are barred from such activity.</p>
<p>Since the ICE arrest, the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners has revoked Roberts&#8217;s superintendent license, <a href="https://iowaboee.my.site.com/LicenseSearchDetailPage?licenseId=0038y000008suVnAAI&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the board&#8217;s website. Roberts was also placed on administrative leave over the weekend.</p>
<p>A background check was conducted by a third party before Roberts was hired, and Roberts completed an I-9 employment eligibility verification form, Des Moines Public Schools Communications Director Phil Roeder <a href="https://www.iowapublicradio.org/ipr-news/2025-09-26/des-moines-public-schools-superintendent-ian-roberts-detained-by-ice-immigration-agents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Iowa Public Radio.</p>
