Hey, who helped to hire this guy in Des Moines? Why, Michelle Obama's Chief of Staff. :-)
Iowa Democrats are rallying behind a school superintendent who was arrested by ICE on allegations that he is in the country illegally this week, and they are led by a school board chair who once held a key role in the Obama White House.
After ICE arrested Ian Roberts, the superintendent for Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) last week, school board chair Jackie Norris called for people to have "radical empathy" as Roberts' case plays out. Norris previously served as White House chief of staff for then-first lady Michelle Obama. Meanwhile, Republicans in the state legislature are also launching a probe into how the board chose Roberts in the first place.
Norris supported Roberts in a statement on Friday in which she said that officials "do not have all the facts."
"There is much we do not know," Norris said. "However, what we do know is that Dr. Roberts has been an integral part of our school community since he joined over two years ago." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-michelle-obama-aide-leads-des-moines-school-boards-defense-superintendent-arrested-ice Ya really wonder who started this need for a First Lady to have a Chief of Staff. Mamie Eisenhower? Jackie Kennedy??
