The state of New Mexico has reopened an investigation into activities at the Zorro Ranch, previously owned by Jeffrey Epstein. The decision follows the release of documents by the United States Department of Justice on January 30, 2026, which included over three and a half million government files related to Epstein.

The New Mexico Attorney General's office, led by Raul Torrez, has cited newly uncovered details within the released FBI files as justification for revisiting the state's earlier investigation into the ranch located near Stanley, New Mexico. This prior investigation was concluded in 2019 upon the request of federal prosecutors in New York, the same year Epstein faced charges for trafficking minors for sex.

The reopening of the case coincides with recent developments involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was arrested on suspicion of misconduct related to Epstein. Allegations suggest that confidential government documents were sent to Epstein. The arrest has intensified demands for accountability in the United States among those connected to Epstein.

New Mexico's legislative body has convened a truth commission to investigate Epstein's connections to the state, specifically focusing on allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking at the Zorro Ranch. The commission is composed of four state representatives who are tasked with this inquiry. Additionally, questions have been raised regarding Epstein's omission from the sex offender registry in New Mexico after his 2008 conviction in Florida.

The Attorney General's office has announced plans to collaborate with the commission and pursue access to complete, un-redacted federal case files. The office has affirmed its commitment to following the facts, evaluating jurisdictional issues, and conducting necessary investigative actions, including evidence collection and preservation.
