New Mexico's Governor in La La Land

Democrat New Mexico Governor: ‘We Look the Other Way’ With Drugs at Border

“They’re saying that they are worried about fentanyl so [Border Patrol is] taking all of our cannabis, and they tried to, and they’re detaining people,” Lujan Grisham said in the leaked recording.

“We’ve never done that,” the governor added. “We just use discretion, and look the other way.”

She continued to apparently call law enforcement at the border “bad."
