Santa Fe, NM (KKOB) — 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.
