Search Launched:

- Notably, this property “was never searched by New York prosecutors, by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 or 2018 or 2020. It was never searched by New Mexico authorities back then. It was never searched. Well, it's being searched now.” (Aaron Parnas, 02:39)
-
Current Leadership:
- New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres' office is coordinating the search with property owners and multiple law enforcement agencies.
- Quoting the state DOJ: “The New Mexico Department of Justice appreciates the cooperation of the current property owners… Prosecutors will continue to keep the public informed, support the survivors and follow the facts wherever they lead.” (Aaron Parnas quoting NM DOJ, 03:05)
-
Truth Commission:
- State legislators have created a new body to review activities at the ranch, signaling potential for more transparency and accountability.

Media Scrutiny & Doubts:
