India, July 27 -- Former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Daniel Ogama Adongo has been deported by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with the agency saying he overstayed his visa and had a history of arrests.

Adongo, 37, was removed from the United States on June 20 after ICE said he overstayed his visa in 2016, the same year his NFL career ended. A Department of Justice immigration judge ordered him removed March 23, 2026 and before his deportation, Adongo was held at the Miami Correctional Facility.

Adongo made history in 2013 when he became the first Kenyan to play in the NFL after signing with the Indianapolis Colts. A former rugby player, he appeared in five games over two seasons before leaving the team in 2015.
