As Twitchy recently reported, the story of the illegal alien superintendent of the Des Moines School District got even worse. Not only did he have a deportation order from the Biden administration, and was in illegal possession of a handgun, but he also spearheaded a push to diversify school district staff by hiring people with criminal records.
According to this letter from Michael Cavin, executive director of the State of Iowa Board of Education Examiners, Iowa has invalidated his license, and his authority to serve as superintendent is revoked.
Now, can we deport this guy already?
The State of Iowa has revoked Ian Roberts’s license to serve as superintendent.

Will Des Moines Public Schools continue to pay his salary? pic.twitter.com/GGD9wxlKmb
It appears that the Des Moines school board intends to place Roberts on unpaid leave at a meeting later today, in light of the state revoking his license to serve in the position. pic.twitter.com/DHilhRS9hP

What are his credentials? It would be interesting to see if he has any that are legit.

And has someone verified his educational/academic credentials? How much of his resume has been falsified?

How about firing the people who gave him that license? If that is not a crime, then what is?

It’s the least they could do. Then they should be investigated for issuing him a license. I’d like to see what documents he submitted to obtain his credentials.

We wonder whose Social Security number he's been using all this time.
How can they continue to pay his salary without a valid SSN?!

Appeal? Fire him for cause and void his contract. These are not serious people.

4:45pm CST the DMPS board is holding a closed meeting to consider new information learned relating to his detainment. Rumor is he will be placed on UNpaid leave following this.
— Kenz (@_kenzlicious) September 29, 2025
He should be placed on a flight back to Guyana following this.
Better Question:
— Story Talking (@Story_Talks71) September 29, 2025
Will Des Moines public School continue to pay their 2 HR directors the six figure salaries they are receiving??
They are the ones who approved this guy to be presented to the school board as a potential candidate.
THEY ARE TOTALLY INEPT!
Losers!
There should be an investigation on just how he got into that position in the first place.
— Wolverine (@brianhock35) September 29, 2025
Not to mention all of the other states in which he was hired as a school superintendent. The guy's switched jobs and states a lot.
One article states this person is well respected. Let’s see how the bamboozled react to this con. Will they feel tricked, as they have been? Or will they defend the con artist? Human behavior is a curious thing.

We've already seen protesters outside the school district offices supporting him.
They should be clawing back what they've already paid this fraud!
— Don Mailey (@DonMailey9915) September 29, 2025
Pay him? Is this a serious question? Deport him and sell his assets to repay the American people that democrats continue to rob blindly.

Unpaid leave is the very least the board could do, if they even do that. Tom Homan, we have a situation in Iowa that needs your attention.
