The Federalist:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released new criminal information in the case of Ian Andre Roberts, the illegal alien hired as superintendent to lead the K-12 Des Moines Independent Community School District.
The criminal history calls into question how he passed an employment background check to work in a school. The district brought a lawsuit Friday against the firm that vetted Roberts, but this employment is not all on one company. Board members should have done their due diligence, personally examined his background, and had more interaction with him.
Democrats have been protesting his removal, but as The Federalist’s Executive Editor Joy Pullman recently wrote, “He’s the inevitable product of a system the Left has built for rewarding people for pushing hateful, un-American ideology at public expense and punishing excellence.”
Roberts has been in the U.S. 29 years, and in that time he has been convicted of reckless driving and unlawful possession of a loaded firearm. He was also charged in separate incidents with criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of a forgery instrument, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal possession of a firearm, and most recently, being an illegal alien in possession of firearms, according to DHS.
