SANTA FE—In response to the Twitter leak of an alleged conversation between Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and the Chief of Staff for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Senate Republican Leader, Senator Greg Baca (R-Belen), today released the following statement:
“I urge the Governor to verify the validity and explain the context of this alleged conversation with a high-ranking federal official. In the leaked audio, there is a substantive discussion about the border crisis, including the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into New Mexico, and the unwillingness of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to act. New Mexicans deserve to know what their elected officials are doing to keep our state safe, and I hope the Governor will bring some clarity to this matter.”
