A secret recording was leaked this week revealing New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham criticizing Border Patrol agents for seizing drugs.
“I’m going to put extra borders going and beyond, for the love of God, put him at the border in Sunland Park where I don’t have a single border patrol agent, not one, and people pour over, and so I’m cranky with the secretary. He knew that was coming, he did not say a word to me. Politico wants to write an article. Every single major press group is asking repeatedly, basically accusing me of being feckless, and uh, Huffington Post, I mean, they’re all going to write about it,” Grisham said secretly.
“They’re saying that they are worried about fentanyl so they’re taking all of our cannibis, and they tried to, and they’re detaining people. We’ve never done that,” the Democrat continued.
“We just use discretion, and look the other way. But the press also knows that the bad Border Patrol is taking a hard stance, and the only way is either we have to adjust it or I have to send you a letter saying, “You’re persecuting the states, you are not using your discretion, you are not working with me on immigration,” and I don’t want to send that letter, but I’m boxed in hard.”
