ICE deports former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Daniel Ogama Adongo
He played for the Indianapolis Colts for two seasons, from 2013 to 2015.
Authorities from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported a former NFL linebacker they say had a criminal history and was in the United States illegally.
Daniel Ogama Adongo, 37, from Kenya, was arrested by Indiana law enforcement "multiple times over 9 years," according to ICE.
The agency said he was convicted of criminal mischief with damage in 2020 and sentenced to nearly a year in jail.
Adongo played for the Indianapolis Colts for two seasons, from 2013 to 2015. ICE said his visa expired in 2026.
"This dangerous individual was clearly a threat to the community, which is now safer since he's been removed," ICE Chicago Assistant Field Office Director Douglas Thompson said in a statement. "Those who violate immigration law are held equally accountable, including former professional athletes."
ABC News was unable to find current legal representation for Adongo for comment.
