We changed the title to make it more factually accurate and descriptive. It was initially entitled, "BREAKING: Olympian mid-distance runner from Guyana kidnapped by ICE?!!" Here is a 2nd article that says he lied about having a PHD from Morgan State and having attended MIT’s Sloan School of Management. He also lied about having been honored by the George Washington University as its District of Columbia "Principal of the Year."
I know for a fact he was at the 1999 NCAA championship in boise idaho competing for saint john university and studying for his masters degree at the time. I was there and we hang out with him after the meet.
So, he would have studied at coppin state for at least four years for his under graduate .making that assumpion, then he would have entered the US roughly circa 1995. Something is not adding up!
So, the Trump administration is claiming that he has been working illegally since 2020, and that Biden issued a removal order in 2024?
However, the district conducted a background check in 2023 and found no evidence suggesting that he is not a citizen. So that's odd.
The "gun charge" he had was simply an infraction for not carrying a hunting weapon properly in his vehicle.
It is entirely possible that ICE is lying about the situation, and this could be another case of an innocent person facing deportation to El Salvador.
from the original desmoines article, there is a picture of the 'hunting weapon'. i cant cut and paste, but it is clearly a concealed carry sort of handgun and nothing to do with hunting wild animals.
and from the school's response, it was inevitably in his car at school.
HOLY CRAP! ICE just arrested Superintendent of Des Moines Iowa schools Ian Andre Roberts - an illegal alien from GUYANA who's had a deportation order since *May 2024.* HOW ON EARTH did he ever become superintendent of a school district? Roberts reportedly fled agents and was found with a loaded gun and a knife, per @BillMelugin_ / Fox News This is the LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN IOWA.
Hey "trump2028", go back to 4chan. We don't want kings in America.
The great part about America is anyone can come here to live the American dream. This guy (a 1:46 800 runner) has lived in the US for decades, got a PhD, and got a great job in education in Iowa (my home state). If there's a source for any of those claims about a deportation order from May 2024 or gun/knife are true, I'd love to see a real reliable source.
Sure, anyone can come to America LEGALLY. He was not here legally once his employment authorization card expired in 2020. If that is the largest school district in Iowa they should be embarrassed for hiring this guy. Also, there should be consequences for those involved in hiring him due to his illegal status.

He could have used a stolen identity, social security number to appear to be a citizen.
You mean the innocent illegal immigrant, gang member, wife beater, human trafficker who was deported to El Salvador? Why would you want that person in the US?

He became a superintendent because these claims are not true.

how do you find the above 'simply an infraction?'
Court records in Pennsylvania show that Roberts pleaded guilty in January 2022 to a minor infraction for unlawfully possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle, and was fined $100 plus court costs.
This is the justification ICE is using to remove him. Carrying a handgun and cash is not a crime.
There is simply no justification for deportation. He's been in the US for 30 years. You're ruining his life, for what??
i await the other half of the story. the cecot dump was supposed to be all criminals. then turned out only some criminals. then turned out they sent a guy with a court order not to deport. i assume if this guy had a removal order but isn't gone that it got appealed or stayed or something, that of course they won't mention, as their version is always one sided, leaves out key details, and is thus unprofessional. law enforcement is not supposed to fib or spin stuff like case status.
they were parsing "right to work" on those georgia koreans the other day. like they had a right to be here and perhaps even work a period of time. they were trying to make that into illegal. which is more complicated.
that being said, if he's of temporary status and he resisted arrest and led a car chase he's going bye bye.

The justification for detention and removal is a removal order issued by an immigration judge in May 2024. So there is justification for removal, you just don’t agree with it.
it is puzzling as to how an individual of means failed to retain counsel and retain authorization to live and work here.
Kidnapped? No. Just another illegal alien arrested.
Why is he carrying a knife and gun to work?
What, your teachers weren’t packing during class? I think all teachers carry AR-15’s nowadays, knives too, so it’s no big deal that this guy was here illegally, had multiple weapons and past firearms charges. This is just ICE unfairly picking on a black man. They should just let him go and maybe pay some reputations as well.
