Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Offers to Cooperate with U.S. Authorities in Leaked Audios

Recent leaked audio recordings captured Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar discussing cooperation with U.S. law‑enforcement agencies. In the first tape she asks, “Are they saying they want to extradite me?” referring to the United States, then offers to provide security‑related information and mentions speaking with the FBI.

A second recording shows her referencing a meeting with the U.S. Department of Justice and expressing willingness to help avoid sanctions. She later confirmed the recordings are authentic but said the contacts were with individuals who presented themselves as U.S. agents without official credentials, emphasizing that all communication with the United States occurs through official channels.

The controversy follows a prior revocation of her U.S. visa and has sparked speculation about a U.S. investigation and possible political pressure. The governor’s office issued a statement denying any secret collaboration while acknowledging the authenticity of the audio.
