A video posted on social media during Sunday’s NFL games featured former Philadelphia Eagles player and Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins in a response to a headline claiming that caravans were heading to the southern border, as is typical during pre-election season.
Brian Dawkins and the NFL responded with a request to remove the video.
DHS refused the request.
“DHS is playing lockdown defense at the border. We will use every Weapon at our disposal, from A to X, to keep Americans safe,” a spokesperson for the department told The Hill in response to the NFL’s request.
The video is still up on Tuesday at News Views’ publishing time.
