DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The former superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district, who was arrested last year in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, was sentenced Friday to two years in prison.
Attorneys for Ian Roberts said they expect he will likely be deported to his native Guyana in South America once he serves the sentence.
He pleaded guilty in January to falsely claiming to be a US citizen and illegally possessing firearms.
