U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported Daniel Ogama Adongo, the first Kenyan-born NFL player, on June 20, 2026. Adongo overstayed his visa in 2016 and faced multiple arrests in Indiana, leading to a 2020 misdemeanor conviction and detention under the Laken Riley Act. While ICE labeled Adongo a threat, his family and lawyers argue his actions stemmed from severe mental illness and potential Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy caused by his athletic career.
