State Attorneys General and Law Enforcement

On March 10, 2026, the New Mexico Department of Justice, with assistance from New Mexico State Police and the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Office, conducted a physical search of Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch, now owned by the family of Texas Republican Don Huffines—who bought the property from Epstein’s estate in 2023 and are cooperating with investigators. The state reopened the probe after revelations in newly unsealed FBI files (its original investigation was closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors), saying investigators were seeking evidence to corroborate alleged victim testimony as lawmakers established a parallel commission to examine the ranch’s past.
