(A video from TikTok shows a protest against Dejoy, the postmaster of the USPS. One sign reads: Deliver DeMail, Deport Dejoy)

Does "DeMail" mean "Delayed Mail"? Or "Mail Delayed by Dejoy"?

For reference only:
USPS SHOWDOWN BOILS OVER AS DEJOY CALLED TO TESTIFY
The outcry comes amid changes implemented by the postmaster threatening the USPS’s ability to deliver mail-in ballots this fall. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to blame Democrats.

"Deliver DeMail" is a phonetic way of saying "Deliver the mail". It was used just so that every word starts "De".

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it also plays on another current buzzword with the misguided calls to 'defund' the police - another 'de' word.

Also, I'm sure it wasn't an intended reference, but it made me think of Tattoo and Fantasy Island, every time the plane arrived.

Don't expect logic from protestors engaged in the latest conspiracy.

Nor the ability to use a thesaurus for more appropriate 'de' words:
dehire
dethrone
demote
depose

To return to the original question. In spoken English some dialects substitute "d" for "th". The sign writer is simply drawing on this for the alliteration.
