Former Des Moines superintendent Ian Roberts charged federally with illegal gun possession while unlawfully in U.S., despite removal order.
Former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts, a Guyanese national, was charged in federal court with possessing firearms while unlawfully present in the U.S. after being arrested on September 26, 2025, during a traffic stop where he fled and was apprehended with a loaded handgun in his Jeep.
Authorities allege he had four loaded firearms, including at his home, and had no lawful work authorization since 2020, despite a final removal order upheld in April 2025.
Roberts, who resigned days after his arrest, maintains his innocence and claims he believed his immigration case was closed based on a letter from a former attorney, though court records show the judge had denied his motion to reopen.
No indictment has been returned, and he remains in federal custody.
