Korn‘s 1994 song “Blind” has been used in a video posted by the official account of the US Department of Homeland Security, in a reply to a social media post about a migrant caravan heading towards the US southern border.
According to Lambgoat, the department shared the clip on X in response to a post from the news account Leading Report, which said a large caravan of migrants was on its way to the border. The video shows former Philadelphia Eagles safety Brian Dawkins in a hype reel set to “Blind“. The Department of Homeland Security captioned its reply: “Our time has come.”
Korn have not commented publicly on the use of their music in the video, and there is no indication that the band approved it.
It is not the first time Korn‘s early material has appeared in content published by US immigration officials. On December 15, 2025, Gregory Bovino, then the Commander at Large of the US Border Patrol, posted a video set to “Shoots And Ladders“, another song from the band’s 1994 debut album. That clip featured footage of Border Patrol agents in vehicles and tactical gear, alongside narration of a Bible verse.
The band did not publicly respond to that video either.
“Blind” was the first single from Korn‘s self-titled debut album, released in 1994. The song’s opening has become one of the most recognisable moments in nu metal, and it remains a regular part of the band’s live set more than 30 years later.
Dawkins spent 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, from 1996 to 2008, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
The video comes during a busy week for Korn fans. Over the weekend, former bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and guitarist Brian “Head” Welch shared a stage for the first time since 2021, joining P.O.D. and Lacey Sturm at a Christian event in Boise, Idaho.
Korn are also working on the follow-up to 2022’s Requiem. Guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer said earlier this year that the band have written close to 40 songs for the record, which does not yet have a release date.
