Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins said he did not give Homeland Security permission to use his highlights in social media video

Dawkins responded on Monday, one day after the DHS posted a highlight video of his with the caption "Our time has come" in reference to a purported migrant caravan headed to the southern border. The DHS said in a statement that it is actively tracking a group of migrants that left Honduras in recent days, and that it is "playing lockdown defense" at the border.

Dawkins, while not addressing the video specifically, made it known he had nothing to do with the post.

"Alright let's be clear, let's be clear. I didn't give permission for my name, image and likeness to be used by anybody, alright? By anybody," Dawkins said in a video. "Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Y'all be blessed."
