One of the prime contributors to the suffering of Puerto Rico following Hurricanes Irma and María may be headed to prison. Julia Keleher, the Republican former secretary of education of Puerto Rico who infamously closed 442 schools on the island, was arrested on charges of fraud in Washington D.C. on July 10. Keleher’s arrest is one of the latest in a series of corruption-related scandals, resignations, and cabinet dismissals which have pushed the conservative governor of Puerto Rico Ricardo Roselló’s government into a state of crisis in recent months.

Keleher, who is not Puerto Rican, is accused of using her position as secretary of education to give her associates preferential treatment in the awarding of bloated government contracts. One of the companies that she is accused of favoring was the “only company not qualified for the contract, and was the worst applicant” according to the indictment.

Keleher resigned in disgrace from her position as secretary of education in April of this year in part because of pressure from the federal investigation. But it was also because of the spotlight placed on her by the #Juliagohome movement of public education advocates who have stood up against her privatization schemes for Puerto Rico’s school system at every step of the way.
