The National Football League (NFL) has requested that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) take down a video featuring retired Hall of Fame player Brian Dawkins.
The DHS used the video to highlight its readiness to protect the U.S. border against a purported caravan of immigrants.
The NFL confirmed the request, stating that the video was inappropriate in the context of the DHS post.
Dawkins, who retired in 2011 after 16 seasons in the NFL, was a highly celebrated player known for his aggressive style of play.
The DHS spokesperson did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
In a separate development, the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general released a report on Monday, revealing that detainees at the now-closed 'Alligator Alcatraz' facility in Florida were held in small metal enclosures for up to two hours.
The 'Alligator Alcatraz' facility was established with much fanfare by the Trump administration, with then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem promising Florida officials would be repaid for operating the facility.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has announced that the administration is investigating 1,620 cases of voter fraud involving noncitizens illegally casting ballots.
Department of Homeland Security personnel have raised concerns about the aircraft's wear and tear, as well as its outdated avionics and communication systems.
