The Western Journal reports that the National Football League asked the Department of Homeland Security to remove clips featuring Hall of Fame safety Brian Dawkins from an agency video that vowed to stop a migrant caravan. The outlet framed the league as “woke” in its headline; that is the outlet’s characterization.
What the report claims
According to The Western Journal, DHS used footage of Dawkins in a video message about stopping a migrant caravan, and the NFL requested that those clips be taken down. The report did not, in the material available to us, include on‑the‑record statements from the NFL or DHS.
Who is Brian Dawkins?
Dawkins is a Pro Football Hall of Famer (class of 2018) and a former All‑Pro safety.
What remains unclear
Based on the limited details provided, it is not clear when the DHS video was published, what licensing or permissions were in place, whether the NFL’s request cited any specific rights, or whether DHS complied. Daily Allegiant has not independently verified the video or any correspondence described by The Western Journal.
