DHS Leaves Video of Brian Dawkins Up Despite NFL Request
Two posts featuring Dawkins were still up Monday afternoon.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refused to remove a social media post featuring former NFL player Brian Dawkins, despite a request from the National Football League (NFL). The post, which includes video of Dawkins' tackles and celebrations, was made in response to a headline about a migrant caravan heading towards the U.S. southern border.
A DHS spokesperson stated that the department would use "every Weapon at our disposal ... to keep Americans safe," adding that the border had been closed and secure for 16 months. The NFL confirmed its request to FOS, stating that DHS was "playing lockdown defense at the border." The post remains up as of Monday afternoon, and attempts to reach Dawkins for comment were unsuccessful.
