Posted on 10/04/2025 7:10:56 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

Holy crap. DHS just released more info on the Iowa school superintendent and illegal alien Ian Andre Roberts. He has a very long, violent criminal record, combined with immigration fraud. He also voted in elections.

It’s unclear how a school district didn’t catch these charges on a background check. Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X that the school district now blames the search firm that hired Roberts.

The IQs of average people currently infesting America is in the toilet. Sub humans. Watch the foreign protesters. They all belong in mental institutions. They are crazier than hell.

Government agencies are far too concerned with industry certification programs and DEI to actually check things like college attendance and degrees, although you would think that requesting a transcript of grades would be common for a profession that requires education levels.

And if the criminal background checks only look for convictions in a localized area, moving around like this guy did can avoid detection.

And everybody has to wonder if this guy is the whole iceberg, or just an indication of the overall problem.

Update

Public announcements and updates regarding the detention of Dr. Ian Roberts by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Friday, September 26 are shared on this page. The most recent communications are at the top of this page.

Thursday, October 2 – 9:30 AM

The Des Moines School Board met in closed session to meet with counsel to discuss potential litigation. Following the closed session, the School Board Chair directed counsel to file suit against the search firm used in the 2023 superintendent hiring. Below is a press release about the lawsuit; a copy of the suit may be downloaded at the bottom of the release.

DES MOINES PUBLIC SCHOOLS FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH FIRM JG CONSULTING

Today, the Des Moines Public Schools Board held a discussion and Board Chair Jackie Norris directed counsel to pursue legal action against One-Fourth Consulting LLC d/b/a JG Consulting, the search firm hired by the Des Moines School Board to facilitate the superintendent search in 2022-23 and the hiring of Ian Roberts. The Board took this swift action in light of recent revelations about Roberts’ right to work in the United States and questionable educational credentials and qualifications.

“The search firm failed in their duty to properly vet the candidates and Ian Roberts should have never been presented as a potential Superintendent,” said Norris. “JG Consulting’s contract required them to bring all known information of a positive or negative nature to the Board, and since that did not happen the Board will pursue aggressive legal action in accordance with the law.”

According to the District’s contract with JG Consulting, the firm’s duties included “advertising, search, recruitment, application and resume review, public domain search, complete reference checks and presentation of qualified candidates.” In addition, JG Consulting would “conduct comprehensive reference calls on each applicant to include the verification of all related employment experiences. JG Consulting will arrange for comprehensive criminal, credit, and background checks to be conducted by a third party. ”

The suit claims breach of contract and negligence. With regard to breach of contract, the District asserts that JG Consulting failed to properly vet Roberts as a candidate and referred Roberts for consideration even though he could not lawfully hold the position. The negligence claim stems from the fact that the firm represented Roberts as a suitable and viable candidate when he was not, and failed to exercise reasonable care in gathering, verifying and supplying information on Roberts.

“From the beginning, the Board has taken these allegations incredibly seriously and has done and will continue to do the hard work to get to the facts. The School Board was deceived by Ian Roberts and on behalf of our students, teachers, parents and community – we demand answers,” added Norris.

Des Moines Public Schools is requesting a jury trial and seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial. Damages include reputational harm, but also costs including superintendent pay, additional hiring process, etc. The District is represented by the law firm of Ahlers & Cooney, P.C.

“This lawsuit won’t undo the hurt felt by those who have been impacted by our former superintendent,” said Norris. “The Board’s goal is to provide the facts necessary to firmly close this chapter and begin the process of healing and improving. This district is more than one person, it is 35,000 students, teachers and staff who work to provide an educational experience to help our kids find success.”

They paid the firm $40,000 to hire this guy!

JG Consulting’s proposed cost was $40,000+ compared to $99,000+ for Alma Advisory, $43,400+ for BWP and $35,500+ for GR Recruiting.

Des Moines and Polk County, Iowa, is probably the least conservative area of Iowa. The Des Moines Register is by no means a powerful voice for social conservatives either, considering the predictions and polls they publish.

That is why people get the impression that Iowa is a slam-dunk for purple or even blue status politically, and it just ain’t so for most of the rest of the state.

One of my foreign born friends said that it will take 6 generations for blacks to get fully integrated into the American system. It’s historical backgrounds. Think American Indians getting introduced to alcohol for the first time by Europeans who had been drinking for thousands of years. Setbacks happen when deviant behavior is excused by governments-think the Great Society as well as DEI. The Great Society gave us OJ not knowing his father.

The US government is directly responsible the overwhelming number of blacks who live down to the level of what’s expected of them.

The NFL. Look at what they tolerate.

I think the school trustees that appointed him knew about his illegal status and criminal record and appointed him anyway b/c DEI:

I agree. I know where you’re coming from. Trouble is, America is being taken over by women who are trying to treat them as their little token love poodles who will do whatever they are being told to do.

<><>Does migrant “Dr. Hafedh Azaiez” actually have a degree?
<><>Is he here legally?
<><>the month he was hired he attacked his pregnant mistress when she refused to abort the baby.
<><> she received a temporary domestic violence restraining order which is now permanent.
<><>Azaiez was put on leave
<><>The school district awarded Azaiez a $20,000 bonus and reinstated him
<><>and even extended his contract.

Seeing her dreams of being a US senator turning to ashes, Michele Obama’s dumb ex-Cos staff said: “I want to be clear. In a world of misinformation and disinformation, blame is rampant,” School Board President Jackie Norris said.

Democrat Norris stupidly noted: “The Des Moines School Board is also a victim of deception by Dr. Roberts....... one on a growing list that includes students and teachers, parents and community, our elected officials and Iowa’s Board of Educational Examiners, and others.”


She’s a victim? How stupid can Norris get?
She was on the irresponsible School Board that screwed up
bigtime-——hiring a criminal to oversee school children.

If the Iowa Governor has the power, she should remove the entire school board and hold new elections to replace them all

A "30-Year Rap Sheet" sure seems like "resume enhancement" for the chattering, nattering Democrats these days. And some of their "Democrat-adjacent RINOs. And much of the "legacy" media which is managing to ignore these kinds of stories.
