Ian Roberts, the former superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, is expected to plead guilty to federal charges of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship and illegal firearm possession. Roberts, who had a 20-year career in education, was arrested by ICE on September 26, prompting his resignation just days later. Initially not guilty, he now faces a potential 20-year sentence and possible deportation. The charges stem from his submission of false documents during his hiring process in 2023 and the discovery of several firearms in his possession.
