articleThe former superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district pleaded guilty Thursday to two federal charges, including falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen. Ian Andre Roberts, a native of Guyana in South America, was the leader of Des Moines Public Schools. Federal immigration officers detained Roberts Sept. 26, 2025, and he resigned from the district’s top post shortly after. Roberts has agreed to permanently forfeit the weapons and waived any right to challenge the forfeiture now or in the future. His guilty plea now exposes him to a combined maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison on the two charges.
