Ex-Colts linebacker Daniel Adongo deported after ICE detention, officials confirm

ICE says Adongo overstayed his visa and had multiple arrests, including a 2020 conviction that led to detention without bond under the Laken Riley Act.

  • U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed former Indianapolis Colts linebacker Daniel Adongo on June 20 after a Justice Department immigration judge ordered his removal in March.
  • ICE officials stated Adongo overstayed his visa in 2016 and was held without bond under the Laken Riley Act following his 2020 criminal mischief conviction, for which he was sentenced to 364 days in jail.
  • While ICE Chicago Assistant Field Office Director Douglas Thompson labeled Adongo "dangerous," court records show judges twice found him incompetent to stand trial, and Dr. Jason Jaronik documented acute psychosis and potential brain injury.
  • Adongo earned roughly $694,000 playing for the Colts before his 2015 release following a domestic disturbance report, initiating a decade-long cycle of arrests, courtrooms, and psychiatric hospitalizations.
  • The Laken Riley Act mandates detention without bond for noncitizens convicted of specific crimes, a federal enforcement policy that directly affected Adongo's detention following his 2020 conviction.
