Overview

  • Roberts remains in the Polk County Jail on a U.S. Marshals hold after being charged federally with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.
  • ICE agents reported finding a loaded Glock in a Des Moines school-owned vehicle and later recovered additional firearms from Roberts’ home, with tracing referenced in the criminal complaint.
  • The Millcreek Township School District voted to pursue legal action against Roberts and Ray and Associates, alleging he claimed U.S. citizenship and a doctorate during the 2020 hiring.
  • Des Moines Public Schools filed suit against JG Consulting, accusing the firm of negligence and breach of contract for failing to properly verify Roberts’ eligibility and credentials.
  • DHS records cite a final removal order issued in May 2024 and a criminal history that includes a 2022 firearm conviction, as well as work authorization that expired in December 2020.
