@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Now how in the Hell did he become the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa Public Schools?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Is this an elected position? How is it possible for an illegal immigrant to be elected to a public office??

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Frankly, can't blame the guy for bolting from feds packing heat. But the school board? Total malpractice. Hired this ghost without a background deep-dive? He could've been a predator, trafficker, or worse—overseeing YOUR kids' safety. Epic fail on due diligence. Parents:

@BillMelugin_ This is rather incredible when you consider how much vetting generally goes into a candidate for a role like superintendent. I can't believe something this glaring would have been missed without someone looking the other way.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews How in the hell did he make it to superintendent if he was illegal with a deportation order and an active ice fugitive??

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews From superintendent to super flight risk hard to believe the guy dodging ICE in the bushes was in charge of educating kids. Looks like Des Moines needs to review all its background checks, not just its curriculum.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews If true that is just incredible. People working around kids generally have to have a background check. How did he manage that?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews The Superintendent of Schools in Des Moines Iowa was a freaking illegal with a deportation order? HOW? Aren't there background/fingerprint checks? Did they miss this? Did they know and not care?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews One of the top 20 highest paid superintendents in Iowa. "Ian Roberts made $305,917 in salary and benefits in the 2024-25 school year." ... so, he's just doing a job that US citizens are just too lazy or simply aren't willing to do... https://www.desmoinesregister....

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Please tell us how he got a job as a superintendent of the public schools if he’s an illegal alien. That had to have come up during his background check; or does Iowa not conduct backgrounds checks on people involved with students ?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Do schools do background checks before hiring or nah? How the heck is this possible?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIS NECK!

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews He didn't show at the 2024 proceedings then moved to re-open his case? Did @dmschools know about his status when they hired him? Or the weapons arrest? Guy was doing pretty well making six figures taking a job I guess no American wanted cc:@iowahawkblog

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Right about......now.......the des Moines public schools' risk management team just collectively soiled themselves, knowing they're about to have a massive class action against them. Further, they are running BI's on every teacher.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Has a decent profile according to this article by We are Iowa. Grew up in Brooklyn, NY and held similar jobs across the United States. His parents were immigrants from Guyana. https://www.weareiowa.com/arti...

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Did he get credentials/paperwork for a new identity… or did they just not do a background check? If he got a new identity, who tf gave it to him? Dig into that!

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews @AGIowa please uncover how the Superintendent of DesMoines Public Schools was (NOT) vetted.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Taxpayers were paying this turd $305,917 for the current year. How does this shit even happen? https://x.com/i/grok/share/3Zz...

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Will he return his public trust award?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews How did he pass an I9?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews @Grok is it legal for a non United States citizen to be posession of a firearm inside the United States?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews I am flummoxed—how could he be employed as a school superintendent without verification of his eligibility to be employed?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews I'm pretty sure there are some US citizens that would be willing to take that cushy $300,000 a year job.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Is it legal for non-citizens of the United States to purchase a gun? If it is, that law needs to be changed immediately.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Holy crap! This guy appeared out of nowhere after DMPS defied the governor’s covid orders to go back to school. I was driving this morning in Des Moines and an undercover car took off like a bat out of hell pretty sure it would have been related! Yikes!

@BillMelugin_ @redsteeze @FoxNews How is some nerd from Iowa and not Ilhan Omar their priority?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews So they hired an illegal immigrant as their superintendent of schools?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Why on earth did this man never bother to hire an immigration lawyer and work toward citizenship??? Public school bureaucrats make very decent money. This is truly crazy!

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews How does this person become the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa Public Schools? Are there no background checks on anyone applying for employment nowadays?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Man why dey doin dis he gotta bowtie an everything man

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews If he graduated from Coppin State University in 1998, how did he “first entered the US in 1999 on an F-1 student visa”?

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Des Moines has some of the highest property taxes in the state and they were paying an illegal over $300k/year. The entire Des Moines school board should resign over this.
