Former Des Moines superintendent Ian Roberts arrested by ICE over unauthorized work and falsified credentials, linked to payments from firm he promoted.
Former Des Moines School District Superintendent Ian Roberts was arrested by ICE in October 2025 amid allegations he worked in the U.S. without legal authorization, had a criminal history, and used falsified credentials.
An Associated Press investigation revealed Roberts maintained a close professional relationship with Lively Paradox, a firm co-founded by Nicole Price, which marketed him as a consultant, sold his books, and received payments from school districts where he served.
Despite internal warnings about conflicts of interest, Des Moines later paid the firm $6,476 for a team-building session without full board approval.
Roberts listed his role at the firm on his resume, and financial records show payments to Price’s company coincided with his leadership in multiple states.
His attorney declined to comment, and Roberts, who remains in federal custody, has defended his outside work as beneficial to education.
