That unlawful Alien Iowa School Superintendent

Ian Andre Roberts, the superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, who was arrested by ICE late last week for illegally overstaying a 1999 scholar visa, has reportedly had lively voter registration as a Democrat in the state of Maryland since 2012.

The story of Roberts was dangerous enough from the onset. Entered the nation in 1999 on a scholar visa. Ignored a ultimate order of removing by an immigration choose in 2024. Gaming the system to attain a full-time superintendent place, in which he earned a $270,000 annual wage. Fled ICE during a chase, where brokers finally discovered money, a knife, and a loaded gun in his vehicle.

In short, an unlawful alien profiting off skirting the law represents every part seedy about the failed immigration system in this nation. But wait, there’s more.

According to data attained by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage, Roberts has an lively voter registration standing in Maryland. He has held that standing as a registered Democrat (of course) since 2012, according to information.

We can now affirm that Des Moines Superintendent Ian Andre Roberts has been registered as a DEMOCRAT since 2012 in Maryland.

DIVE DEEPER: Wait, What? Iowa School Superintendent Is an unlawful Alien

Mind-blowing, is not it, that the very factor Democrats insist is not and may never occur seems to have occurred yet again. And by “mind-blowing,” I imply, it is every part we have recognized has been occurring in this nation all along. Democrats do not die on the hill for unlawful immigrants without it serving to to secure their political energy.

Roberts’ story encompasses practically every factor of that. He seems to have taken benefit of weak immigration enforcement to stay in the nation, fleshed out his legal background (unlawful weapons possession costs from 2020) while illegally in the nation, took a high-paying instructional place away from a legal citizen, and is eligible to vote in all federal, state, and local elections. 

🚨 I’ve confirmed from Maryland Freedom Caucus Chairman, @MattMorgan29A (R) that Des Moines Superintendent Ian Roberts has been a registered voter in Maryland since 2012.

While Roberts’ precise voting file is unclear at this time, Republican state Delegate Matt Morgan advised to Fox News that where there’s smoke …

“If illegal aliens are not allowed to vote, why would they be on the voter rolls in the first place?” he questioned.

“We have no idea how widespread this is. We hear rumors, but we have no idea,” he said. “This is uncharted territory.”

Uncharted maybe on the invention facet in this specific case, but it is long been suspected that this variety of nefarious exercise, compromising election integrity, has been happening.

It’s why Democrats have vehemently opposed the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act, a invoice sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) designed to safeguard our elections by making certain only American residents vote in federal elections.

“Don’t believe (Senate Minority Leader Chuck) Schumer,” Roy wrote on X relating to revelations of the superintendent’s voter registration standing. “unlawfuls are voting. Pass the SAVE Act and clean our voter rolls.”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said any politicians who oppose the SAVE Act are “traitors.”

The invoice handed the House of Representatives in April 2025 and is presently pending in the Senate.
