An Iowa public school superintendent has been detained by Immigration Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
Dr. Ian Roberts was taken into ICE custody Friday morning. He is the superintendent for Des Moines Public Schools.We have no confirmed information as to why Dr. Roberts is being detained or the next potential steps.
Our priority is to provide a safe, secure and outstanding education for all students and to support our students, families, and employees," School Board Chair Jackie Norris said in a Facebook message to parents. The Iowa State Education Association and Des Moines Education Association also released the following joint statement Friday: We were shocked to hear of Dr. Ian Roberts’s detainment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents early this morning. Since being hired as superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, we have known Dr. Roberts to be a tremendous advocate for students, families, staff, and the community. His leadership and compassion for all students, regardless of background, identity, or family origin, are a beacon of light in one of the state’s most diverse school districts. It is a dark and unsettling time in our country. This incident has created tremendous fear for DMPS students, families, and staff. We call on the community to come together and support each other.”Stay Connected
