Vanity: Background on How the Des Moines School Board Hired an Illegal Alien as Superintendent
Vanity ^

Posted on 09/26/2025 6:21:51 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Trying to find out information about how Des Moines hired an illegal alien with a criminal history, Ian Robert’s, as leader of its schools.

One comment online said rhe board voted him in during a closed session after being made aware of his illegal status.

Link shows he highlighted his immigrant background in his bio and the public announcement was done in English and then in Spanish to local media. It’s also an educationally failing school district.

Any locals with info please share. It’s a key state for national elections.

You will not understand anything about America until y0u process the official sotry about how things work - us being free, anyone can do anything through hard work - those a myths designed to keep you from wrecking this joint.

The reality is we are a shadow dictatorship run by intelligence. There is a secret society of surveillance people assigned to watch everyone and keep people deceived and helpless. They get broken up into cells, and are told where to live, and are assigned sectors of Americans to spy on, exactly as the old Stasi did in East Germany.

There are people on this site here to monitor it and push intel’s narratives. And they will run their own kids in the schools as informants/surveillance kids, spying on other kids to build the files on them. You can see video of two of the spy kids on my website in my tagline, talking about taking part in one of my follows.

That dude was some kind of CIA asset in his home country, or his family was surveillance there, and something happened and his reward was being brought here, where he was integrated into US Domestic surveillance, and that is how he got that job.

The schools are a big deal to intel, because they want to find those high flying kids who could threaten their control of the shadow dictatorship, and they want to stifle them early. I was really high performing in school, and I was stunned as I rocketed from bullies starting fights with me for no reason, to girls wanting to bang who barely knew me, and later I would see all those weirdos following me around town, and be like WTF?

Sooner or later domestic intel will go public, I hope with my help, and personally I hope all of them get killed in the resulting violence. They are absolutely the worst possible human beings imaginable. Total traitors, cowards, bullies, animals, and just awful people. I suppose that is inherent to intelligence personnel. But we do not need that domestically in America. Go somewhere overseas and screw that place up with what you are.

You’ll see.

What did this propaganda piece cost the Des Moines taxpayers? This setup ‘guide,’ which led to the subversive selection of a criminal to head up the Des Moines school system is a classic example of woke DEI and must receive an unbiased critical analysis by the outraged parents of Des Moines school aged children.

DEI is. Grift and money laundering operation.

I know someone who was “trained” by some DEI grifter.

Once a week for an hour to talk about whiteness.

Cost to taxpayers?

$90,000 a year. !

The masters and education doctorates are vanity degrees. Pay the fees = get the degree. You can read “Dr. Jill” Biden’s dissertation online. Garbage.

Vast majority of doctorates given to blacks are in education. They always use the title “Dr.” as well. Maybe 1 in 10 white prior with PhDs use “Dr.”

...unbelievable. No country that I have ever been in (and that is a LOT) would allow the behaviors we are seeing here. They would NOT.

What? The guy is an illegal alien. He fled ICE agents in a school owned vehicle with a LOADED WEAPON....a fixed blade knife and 3k in cash. He also had a charge of possession of a firearm as an illegal from 2020.....in what world does the Second Amendment apply here? He fled a legal request, possessed a firearm in school property, and had an order to deport....not exactly sure what you’re trying to defend here.

“…not exactly sure what you’re trying to defend here.”

Convicting him for possession of a firearm and possession of money sets precedents that would eventually be used against us if we choose to exercise our rights.

An update from @DataRepublican (small r) on X....

Hello Ms. Norris,

You claim you don’t have time for politics or fundraising, so I will help you out.

You are the owner of Horizon Group, formerly known as the State Public Policy Group (SPPG). That firm holds contracts in Des Moines tied to immigrant research and settlement. Given that background, it strains credibility to suggest you were unaware of Mr. Roberts’ immigration status while he was superintendent.

The financial record also raises questions. An earlier federal audit flagged $763,702 in payments to SPPG under the Iowa Secretary of State’s HAVA program as “questioned costs,” the result of sole-source contracts awarded without competitive bidding.

With that history, the public deserves more than campaign donation requests. We deserve to know why you should not again be the subject of investigation.

You’re joking right? He has zero Second Amendment rights....he’s a felon with a deportation order in place from 2024. He is not a US citizen....you can’t be serious..and if you are..you’re beyond help.

The conman, pseudo-Dr Ian Roberts, was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement. ICE's Field Office Director Sam Olson: "How this illegal alien was hired without work authorization, w/ a judge's final order of removal, and a prior weapons charge is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district.”

Sap-happy Democrats, all female school board, blithely hired a criminal to supervise children.

cnn.com excerpt / 9/27/25......On Friday, the “popular superintendent” of Des Moines Public Schools made headlines after he was detained by immigration officers, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which claims the Guyana native is in the country illegally, has a criminal history, and multiple weapon possession charges.

Ian Roberts was then placed on “paid administrative leave” pending more information by the Des Moines Public School Board on Saturday after a vote determined he was “unable” to perform his duties.

School Board president, Jackie Norris, onetime Michele Obama COS, seemed to defend the criminal super she herself hired, claiming they “dont have all the facts.”

School Board president, Jackie Norris, a onetime Michele Obama COS, and a US Senate candidate, claimed Roberts was “popular and well-respected.”

OMG——does this dumb*** Democrat know that’s a conman’s stock in trade——conning people into thinking he’s a nice guy.......and this guy was real good at it.

He fooled a lot of people.

Course its dam easy to fool stupid Democrats like know-nothing Norris.
