After an illegal alien, Ian Andre Roberts, the superintendent of the Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, was arrested by ICE, Republicans blew the whistle on the fact that he was a registered active Democrat voter in the state of Maryland.

According to the official website for the Maryland State Board of Elections, Roberts, who overstayed a student visa from 1999, has an active voter status and is registered as a Democrat in Maryland. The development was first reported on by columnist Dustin Grage.

Republican state Delegate Matt Morgan, who is chair of the Maryland House Freedom Caucus, told Fox News Digital that Roberts’ registration means that he is eligible to vote in all federal, state and local elections despite not being a U.S. citizen, and also despite likely not having lived in Maryland for the past decade.

Morgan explained that there is nothing in Maryland law allowing for non-citizens to be registered to vote in federal or state elections even if Roberts were still a legal resident.

Now, the House Freedom Caucus is demanding answers from the Maryland State Board of Elections about "gaping holes" in the state’s election integrity systems.

In a letter sent to the elections board on Monday, the Freedom Caucus also demanded answers on why the board has been "obstructing a valid request by the Department of Justice to ensure compliance with federal election laws, citing immigration enforcement as a primary concern.

Morgan pointed to a letter the elections board sent to the Justice Department in August in which State Administrator of Elections Jared DeMarinis expressed concern that if the board gave over voter information to the federal government that data would be used for "used for enforcement of immigration laws against Maryland residents."  

Commenting on the letter, Morgan asked, "If illegal aliens are not allowed to vote, why would they be on the voter rolls in the first place? And how would that enhance immigration enforcement? I don't know, but that's the excuse that they wrote to the DOJ."

"It's ridiculous," he went on, adding that "everyone reasonable wants a safe and secure election."

Before his arrest by ICE, Roberts headed the Des Moines Public Schools, the largest school district in the state, despite not being legally authorized to work in the U.S. after his employment authorization card expired in 2020, according to authorities.

He was taken into custody on a fugitive warrant last week. ICE agents arrested Roberts after he attempted to flee and was found hiding in brush. The vehicle Roberts was driving was found with $3,000 in cash, a fixed-blade hunting knife, and a loaded Glock 19 firearm, ICE said.

Roberts also had illegal weapons possession charges from 2020 and was given a final order of removal in 2024.

Morgan said that though Roberts’ case is baffling, he fears he may just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to illegal aliens registered to vote in Maryland.

"We have no idea how widespread this is. We hear rumors, but we have no idea," he said.

"This is uncharted territory," he added.

Lipscomb Academy, a K-12 private school affiliated with Lipscomb University, is working with students after complaints about how administrators handled efforts to honor conservative activist Charlie Kirk, after he was assassinated. 

A Lipscomb Academy administrator, Jesse Savage, enforced a dress code policy asking students to remove the red ties they wore to honor Kirk, according to local news outlet The Tennessean.

"On Sept. 12, when 12-15 students wore red ties with their school uniforms to honor Kirk, Savage asked the students to remove the ties, leading to complaints, according to Lipscomb Academy in a Sept. 26 statement," The Tennessean reported.

A spokesperson for the school told Fox News Digital that no student was disciplined.

"To clarify, on Friday, Sept. 12, a small group of Academy students wore red ties to honor Charlie Kirk. While this was out of dress code, they were not disciplined but were asked to remove the ties," a spokesperson for the academy said. "The morning of the very next school day, Monday, Sept. 15, Academy administrators met with these students to understand their experiences and to support them in finding a meaningful way to honor Charlie. As a result of this meeting, the students were given approval and planned to wear red ties on another day. But, instead they chose to collaborate with the Academy's team to plan a future chapel focused on being bold and impactful in their faith."

The Tennessean reported that the academy issued an apology for how it handled the incident.

After parents expressed outrage at Savage for enforcing the dress code policy, many felt the situation worsened when the school promoted the administrator to another position.

The Churches of Christ-affiliated school announced September 25 that Savage would transition from head of school to director of academics for the upper school. A spokesperson told The Tennessean that Savage’s move into the new role was already in progress before the dress code controversy.

"The role of Director of Academics has been in development for over a year, with Dr. Savage expressing interest. Given his expertise, he is well-suited for this senior leadership position," the academy said in a statement to The Tennessean.

Lipscomb Academy’s statement did not satisfy parents and other stakeholders, leading to more than two dozen protesters who gathered on September 26 at the school’s front lawn during morning drop-off.

"During morning drop-off Sept 26, demonstrators stood behind police barricades. Across the street was another group on the steps of the school who ushered students in, which included current staff at the academy and other community members," The Tennessean reported.

Several counterprotesters also gathered in support of Savage, some holding signs reading "Alumni for Savage."

TV personality Savannah Chrisley praised the students in a social media post. 

"So proud of the brave young men at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville who tried to honor Charlie Kirk’s life only to be silenced, reprimanded, and failed by the very school that should be shaping leaders of courage and conviction," she wrote. "Your school and faculty didn’t just miss the mark….they betrayed you in a moment that called for faith, unity, and truth."
