In a leaked audio recording posted on social media, New Mexico Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham can be heard expressing deep frustration with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and threatening to send a letter accusing his department of failing to work with her on border security.

“For the love of god, put [Border Patrol agents] 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,” Grisham is heard saying in the audio, which was first posted by an anonymous account on X. ...

Later on in the audio, the governor can be heard threatening to write a letter accusing Mayorkas of failing to work with her office on the immigration crisis.

MLG's office confirmed that the leaked audio was genuine and didn't dispute that it was Mayorkas on the other end. That makes me think that MLG's office may have leaked it. She may need to defend herself from angry New Mexico voters about Biden's border crisis. 

We'll see what transpires next, but clearly someone wanted to show MLG "standing up" to the incompetent Mayorkas and Biden.
