ICE in Des Moines

 

ICE has arrested the Superintendent of the Des Moines Public School System, Ian Roberts.   That's the headline.   The subject is an illegal alien here since 1999 on a student visa — which he overstayed.   Okay, ICE did their job.

The question in my mind is: How did he manage to get past all the required checks to prove eligibility for employment?

The answer is that somebody — or several 'somebodies' — within DMPS' HR department cut a corner or two, and just coincidentally violated federal law by doing so.

Step #2 falls to DOJ.   They need to descend upon DMPS/HR and demand to see all the paperwork and all the sign-offs connected to this illegal alien being cleared for work.   Anything that smacks of illegality should result in immediate arrests and equally immediate arraignments, followed by quick trials for every single person within HR that had anything to do with clearing Ian Roberts for his appointment.

Only by making the lawbreakers accountable will such travesties be brought to an end.   Paging Pam Bondi...  Paging Pam Bondi...
