US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Roberts on Friday, saying that he was subject to a final removal order that a judge issued in May 2024. Roberts is a native of Guyana who entered the United States on a student visa in 1999, according to ICE. He’s being held at an Iowa jail.
ICE said that Roberts fled after a traffic stop in Des Moines, and that he was apprehended with the assistance of the Iowa State Patrol. The agency said that Roberts, 54, had possessed a loaded handgun in his district-issued vehicle, a hunting knife and $3,000 cash when arrested.
According to the official ICE report, he also had a prior weapons charge from a few years back (as it's against the law for someone who's in the US illegally to be in possession of a loaded firearm)

I provided 3 sources, CNN, ICE, and an Iowa local publication (in hopes to make it a "balanced" cross section of narratives on this story)
