美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）已要求国土安全部（DHS）停止在社交媒体上使用一段涉及退役明星球员的视频。
此前，该部门曾使用这段视频中的精彩片段来展示其保护美国边境的决心，以应对据称正朝美国边境移动的移民车队。
The National Football League (NFL) has asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to stop using a video of a retired star player on social media, after the agency used highlights of his career to show its readiness to protect the United States border against a purported caravan of immigrants that was heading towards it.
NFL发言人布莱恩·麦卡锡周一表示：‘联盟已要求DHS删除该视频。’
“The league has requested the DHS take down the video,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said on Monday.
这段视频发布于周日，内容显示前费城老鹰队和丹佛野马队球员布莱恩·道金斯在比赛前走出场外并高呼‘我们的时刻到了’。视频中还穿插了他在场地上擒抱对手的镜头，配以重金属音乐。DHS发布的文字说明为：“我们的时刻到了。”
The video, posted on Sunday, shows Brian Dawkins, a former player for the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos, walking out before a game and chanting “the time has come”. It then features a montage of him tackling opposing players on the field, set to heavy metal music. The DHS post includes the caption: “Our time has come.”
道金斯是一位备受赞誉的NFL球员，他在NFL效力16个赛季后于2011年退役。
Dawkins was a highly celebrated NFL player who retired in 2011 after playing 16 seasons in the NFL.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将移民问题作为其第二个任期的核心议题，称来自墨西哥的移民涌入是‘入侵’，并在全国多个城市部署联邦军队以抓捕无证移民。
US President Donald Trump has made immigration a central part of his second term in office, terming the inflow of migrants across the border from Mexico an “invasion” and deploying federal forces in cities across the country to round up undocumented people.
在第一个任期内，特朗普曾沿墨西哥边境部署数千名军队以阻止一支从中美洲前往北美的移民车队。
During his first term, Trump deployed thousands of troops along the border with Mexico to stop a caravan of Central American migrants who had been making their way north.
批评者认为这一部署反应过度，认为这是2018年中期选举前的政治噱头。
Critics called the deployment a vast overreaction and dismissed it as a political stunt ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
