...Interesting hw he wasn't charged with fraud.

His school history was just used in this report to inflame sentiment against him for the charges listed.

NOEM's DHS:

Roberts’ rap sheet and immigration history reveal a long record of criminal conduct in the United States. He should never have been serving in a role overseeing children in Iowa’s largest school district.

“Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien with multiple weapons charges and a drug trafficking charge, should have never been able to work around children,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “When ICE officers arrested this Superintendent, he was in possession of an illegal handgun, a hunting knife, and nearly $3,000 in cash. This criminal illegal alien is now in U.S. Marshals custody and facing charges for being an illegal alien in possession of a firearms. Under Secretary Noem, ICE will continue to arrest the worst of the worst and put the safety of America’s children FIRST.”

This is dripping with the 'illegal alien' shit that's supposed to turn people against him, and is nothing but anti-migrant propaganda.

Now let's talk about the exorbitant salary of the fraud NOEM at DHS who had leaked and pushed this anti-immigrant shit so far that it's ended up here.
