This situation shows exactly why people are concerned. We’re not talking about someone quietly living under the radar. This person had prior gun charges, deportation orders, and still managed to get public school jobs, register to vote, and even move into leadership positions.
ICE’s own public release details nearly thirty years of criminal and immigration violations across multiple states. The record includes narcotics and firearm offenses, repeated visa entries, four denied Green Card applications, and a deportation order issued in 2024 that was never enforced. Despite all that, he continued to move in and out of the country, teach and work for DC and Maryland public school systems, and eventually become a superintendent in Iowa.
According to Maryland state records cited by Fox Baltimore and WJLA, he also appeared on voter rolls in Maryland. If those records are accurate, that means someone with that kind of history was able to hold taxpayer-funded positions and even register to vote while under a removal order.
That is not a paperwork error. It is decades of missed enforcement, failed background checks, and a total breakdown in communication between federal and state agencies.
If someone this visible, with that long of a record, could keep passing through the system undetected, imagine how many others with lower profiles are slipping through in less visible jobs or positions of trust. This should concern anyone who cares about law, safety, and accountability.
