Daniel Adongo, a former NFL player and widely reported as the first Kenyan to play in the league, is deported from the United States to Kenya by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to multiple reports. One outlet says Adongo was deported earlier this summer, while another specifies the removal took place in June 2026. The reports describe Adongo as having overstayed his visa for nearly a decade after his football career ended. They also state that during his time in the U.S., he faces multiple arrests and convictions related to offenses that are not detailed in the provided excerpts. Immigration officials order his removal, and ICE carries out the deportation to Kenya, where he returns after years in the U.S. Across the accounts, the central points are that Adongo is a former NFL player, ICE initiates and executes his removal, and the deportation is linked in the reporting to immigration status issues and prior legal encounters.
