Former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he lied on employment forms to conceal his immigration status and illegally possessed multiple firearms. Roberts, who was hired by the district in 2023, submitted his resignation Sept. 30, days after he was arrested while allegedly trying to flee from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Federal officials have since said Roberts, a native of Guyana, was not a U.S. citizen as he had claimed and lacked legal authorization to work in the United States, among multiple other apparent mistruths and exaggerations about his background and qualifications. Prosecutors allege that Roberts illegally had four guns, including a loaded handgun found in Roberts' district-owned vehicle after he fled from ICE, and that he falsely attested he was a United States citizen when filling out his I-9 employment authorization to work in Des Moines.
