Albany Schenectady Troy, NY, September 28, 2026 — The National Football League (NFL) formally requested that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) remove a social media video. The video reportedly featured Hall of Fame player Brian Dawkins.

According to available information, the NFL’s request was made in relation to the video’s alleged use in discussions or references concerning immigrant caravans approaching the United States border. The specific nature of the video’s content and its exact connection to the immigrant caravans were not detailed in the summary provided.

The summary did not specify when the NFL made this request to the Department of Homeland Security, nor did it state whether the video has since been removed or if the request is still pending. Details regarding the social media platform on which the video was posted, or the specific circumstances under which it was utilized in relation to the border discussions, were also not provided.

Brian Dawkins, a former safety, played primarily for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Denver Broncos during his NFL career. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. Information about whether Dawkins himself was aware of or involved in the use of the video, or if he has made any statement regarding it, was not included in the summary.

The Department of Homeland Security’s role in handling such requests from entities like the NFL, particularly concerning content shared on social media that might be linked to border-related discussions, is part of its broader responsibilities in managing information and public perception related to national security and immigration matters. The summary did not include any statement from the Department of Homeland Security regarding the NFL’s request or its actions thereafter.
