🚨 BREAKING: Des Moines Public Schools Chair Jackie Norris has confirmed that Superintendent Ian Roberts failed to provide proof he was legally eligible to work for the district — and the board has now moved to accept his resignation. Norris: “He did not provide the board with the information we requested. The school board made the difficult but right decision given the circumstances.” The red flags were obvious from the start. The board ignored them and hired him anyway. This isn’t just a mistake — it’s dereliction of duty. The entire board should resign in shame. h/t Iowa Pulse

Des Moines Public Schools board chair Jackie Norris called for "radical empathy" after the ICE arrest of the $300,000 a year superintendent Ian Roberts who was illegal in the US, had outstanding warrants, an arrest record a mile long, and had a weapons charge. Radical empathy, wth is that? Another call to violence imo.

Listen carefully to what Des Moines Public Schools Board Chair—and US Senate candidate—Jackie Norris DOESN’T say in her statement, which was no doubt written by the district’s attorneys: “As part of their work for DMPS, JG Consulting’s contract included their obligation to disclose to the District all known information of a positive or negative nature regarding candidates for the superintendent position. That included having a comprehensive criminal, credit, and background checks conducted by a third-party. In this case, the search firm used a company called Baker Eubanks to conduct the background check, which found nothing related to citizenship or immigration matters related to Dr. Roberts.” The background check “found nothing related to citizenship or immigration matters related to Dr. Roberts.” Why so specific? What about the checks of criminal and credit history she says they ran? Did those turn up anything of concern? 🤨

SHOCKING: The Guyanese illegal alien and former superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, Ian Roberts, was a registered Democrat voter in Maryland and also possessed a valid drivers license and Social Security card. Des Moines School Board Chair Jackie Norris: “We can tell you that on his ID, he stated he was a citizen and he provided two forms of verification: a driver’s license and a social security card.” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA): “It’s an atrocity.”

🚨 Investigation finds Ian Roberts, the illegal superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools making $300,000+ per year arrested by ICE had a drivers license - He was illegal and issued a drivers license - Registered to vote - He did vote - Registered to vote out of state - He had multiple speeding tickets after being illegally hired - Had a removal order - Had a criminal record Just imagine how many other illegals are also a issued driver licenses and have been registering to vote and voting for years “I dug through Iowa courts and public records and found that Dr. Roberts had received two speeding tickets, one in 2023 and another in 2024. Both of these came after Dr. Roberts started as DMPS superintendent” “Iowa law states that you must apply for an Iowa driver's license within 30 days of moving to the state. Now, interestingly enough, both of these speeding tickets listed different Maryland addresses for Dr. Roberts. Of course, I also used his name to look him up on the Maryland Board of Elections website and found that in 2017 he was registered to vote. Of course, only people who are US citizens are allowed to vote in US elections”

HOLY FVCK!! The Iowa Board of Education knew about Ian Andre Roberts’ academic background but failed to conduct a proper background check before hiring him. Roberts wasn’t just in the country illegally, he was an active fugitive with a deportation order and had a prior weapons-related arrest. Yet he was placed in charge of the largest public school district in Iowa — not to mention he previously held positions in public school systems across multiple states. How is this even possible? WTAF is going on?

Des Moines School District Board Chair Jackie Norris says empathy is no longer enough We just show “Radical empathy” for the illegal superintendent Ian Roberts who fled ICE and makes $300k+ per year “Ask the community to engage in radical empathy as we work through this situation together. Radical empathy is the recognition that we can disagree and still empathize with each other, the respect of others' humanity.”

How in the world did he get that job? 🚨 ICE Arrested Des Moines Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts on Immigration Violation and Gun Allegations He’s an illegal alien from Guyana with a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge in May 2024, and he lacks any work authorization. He entered the U.S. in 1999 on a student visa but has been evading deportation since the order.

🚨 BREAKING: The Des Moines Public School Board is now deflecting all responsibility for hiring former Superintendent Ian Roberts by taking legal action against the search firm that assisted in the hiring, JG Consulting. Roberts passed background checks conducted by both JG Consulting and DMPS, despite having a criminal past and lying about his education. He has also been illegally registered as a Democrat in Maryland since 2012, receiving mail-in ballots since 2020. In addition, Roberts is facing deportation for being in the country illegally and is facing several felony gun charges. While the DMPS School Board is trying to shift blame, they are clearly at fault as well. Board Chair Jackie Norris, who is seeking the Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate in Iowa, previously served as Michelle Obama’s chief of staff. Corruption is everywhere. Every single member of the board involved in this hiring should resign immediately. What occurred is a total and complete dereliction of duty. h/t Iowa Pulse

I'm from Des Moines. Both of my parents retired from the Des Moines public schools. My sister works in the Des Moines public schools now. This is truly a disgrace that the school board in Des Moines did not properly vet this superintendent. He's an illegal alien. He was caught with a bunch of cash and a gun. He's a criminal. We need to get him the hell out of our country, Accountability is coming for the Des Moines public school leadership.

This needs to be talked about. In Kate’s newest TikTok, she talks about how Liam encouraged her to do social media, how she wanted to give up and he wouldn’t let her. Liam actively tried to stay off of social media and Kate wouldn’t allow him to, forcing him to be in her videos for the attention it gave her. Liam also mentioned that his team tried to push the TikTok wave onto him, but that he just didn’t want to do it. He openly spoke about how this caused tension. Kate then goes on to talk about how she took “about 8 months” off. She didn’t take an actual break. All she did was post less than she does now. Right after Liam passed away, Kate admitted that she deleted social media for about THREE DAYS. She said that she was “ashamed” because of how quickly she redownloaded TikTok. Her “8 month break” wasn’t an actual break; it was her posting ONLY Liam-related TikToks that centered around HER — not Liam himself. She never once spoke up in his defense, she never once tried to keep his legacy alive. That was just when she started making up lies after lies, contradicting herself, and being unable to keep track of her previous stories that she had already told. She immediately knew that she had to do something to keep her relevance and to keep her name attached to Liam’s. If she had taken a proper, REAL break, her money would’ve taken a big dip and she would’ve had to fly economy more than just once (oh no!). Not even a year after Liam died, Kate showed that she was out partying and drinking constantly, she was posting with several different guys every night. And only when she got called out for it is when she would put up another self-centered, Liam themed video as a way to manipulate the public. #JusticeForLiam #StopExploitingLiam #ExposeKateCassidy

What jumps out to me about Ian Roberts’s attorney’s press conference is that he did not deny ICE’s allegations. He repeatedly says they’re trying to figure out the facts and urges people not to jump to conclusions. If Roberts were a US citizen, his attorney would have been waving around the proof.

The Des Moines school board is suing some no name firm and blaming them for not properly vetting Ian Roberts before hiring.. You mean to tell me you trusted some third company to vet a person who would be responsible for the safety of thousands of students and when it came down to hiring him you yourselves didn't do a final vet before making him an offer? Every single person on this board needs to resign right now.

Breaking news: Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent arrested in Des Moines Public Schools for being in the U.S. illegally, previously held the same role at Millcreek Township School District in Erie, Pennsylvania, from 2020 to 2023. As a former high school baseball coach near Erie, I underwent fingerprinting and an FBI background check for my hiring. How did the vetting process fail to allow someone with an expired student visa and a final removal order to secure these high-level positions?

DEI: Des Moines all-Democrat, all-female school board hired a new superintendent based purely on his skin color. Not only was he an illegal alien and a fugitive from justice, he lacked the basic education and experience to lead the state's largest school district. Armed with an illegal firearm, Ian Andre Roberts charmed the pants off of every member the female board. The only box he could have possibly checked for the board and the district was the color of his skin. DId the board know he was an illegal immigrant and fugitive from justice? The answer is, of course they did!

🚨 BREAKING: Officials uncovered TWO voter registration applications for former Des Moines Superintendent Ian Roberts. Election officials REDACTED his answer to the question “Are you a U.S. citizen?” Roberts signed both under penalty of perjury claiming eligibility to vote. This comes after we broke this story that Roberts had been registered as a Democrat since 2012 in Maryland with the help of Matt Morgan and the Maryland Freedom Caucus. One thing is clear. We need to clean the voter rolls across the country.
