As I've said for a long time....what Dems spew forth about Reps is like them looking in a mirror and describing themselves. Crazy!

This situation is batshit crazy. Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent detained by ICE

Notice the headline doesn't say WHY he's being detained. Must be bad guys ICE, right?

Only when you get past the headline and byline do you get some real information:
"The press release states that Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents detained Dr. Ian Roberts Friday morning for being in the country illegally and in the possession of a loaded handgun. Federal law does prohibit those in the country illegally from possessing weapons."

Federal law prohibits illegals from possessing weapons? I thought federal law prohibited illegals from being here at all!

"The DHS says after officers identified themselves to Roberts, he fled the scene in his vehicle. The vehicle was later found abandoned near a wooded area. State Patrol helped locate Roberts and he was taken into ICE custody." "At the time, he had a loaded handgun, three thousand dollars in cash, and a hunting knife."

Sounds like a good example to be leading the schools .

So what do the unions think of this? They defend him saying the problem is ICE is creating fear!

“We were shocked to hear of Dr. Ian Roberts’s detainment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 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."

And for the closer, enforcing the law is an attack on freedom:

In a statement, Progress Iowa Executive Director and DMPS parent Mazie Stilwell said “these attacks on our freedoms” should be stopped.

“No Iowan is safe. It is time for them to finally stand up for us and stop these attacks on our freedoms and our communities,” said Stilwell. “Every Iowan should call their legislators and ask why Iowans are being detained, and what they are doing to protect us.”

In a way they're right, enforcing the law is an attack on the freedoms of murders, rapists, arsonists, and ..... illegals.
