The Kenyan national was wearing a WA DCYF jacket at the time of his arrest and admitted to being employed by the department. 

Muthee first flew into the U.S. in June 2019 via a B-2/tourist visa, but never left and remained in the country illegally.

The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families confirmed that Muthee was employed by the department and had worked there since August 2024.

According to WA DCFY Director of Communications Nancy Gutierrez, Muthee provided the appropriate documentation when he was hired, including a valid United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) number with no expiration date.

“Daniel Ogama Adongo, from Kenya, has a criminal record in the U.S. that includes arrests for criminal mischief with damage, felony intimidation, battery, and disorderly conduct,” the statement read.
