Daniel Adongo

Daniel Adongo, a 37-year-old former rugby star and the first Kenyan to play in the NFL, has been deported from the United States. Federal immigration authorities cited an overstayed visa and multiple arrests as the reasons for his deportation. Adongo played as a linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts for two seasons, appearing in two games before being cut in 2015 following domestic violence allegations. His visa expired in 2016, and he remained in the U.S. illegally thereafter, also serving prison time according to ICE. The news of his deportation comes amid a broader immigration crackdown. Adongo's case highlights the intersection of sports careers, immigration status, and law enforcement actions in the United States.
