Story summary

The NFL asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to remove a video that featured former Philadelphia Eagles player Brian Dawkins' violent tackles and was posted in response to reports of an approaching "huge migrant caravan" at the US southern border. The DHS captioned their post with "Our time has come," referring both to Dawkins' career highlights and the agency's stance on immigration enforcement. Dawkins personally denied giving permission for his footage to be used, stating he did not authorize anyone for its use. The video, set to heavy metal music, had been online since Sunday afternoon before the NFL intervened on Monday. This incident reflects broader tensions over the use of sports imagery in political contexts related to immigration policies.
