Folks, we kick off the week with a bombshell revelation thats got everyone in southern Santa Fe County buzzing. The mystery buyer of Jeffrey Epsteins infamous Zorro Ranch, that sprawling 7600-acre property right here in our backyard, has been unmasked as Texas real estate mogul and MAGA candidate Don Huffines. He snapped it up back in 2023 through a freshly minted LLC, renaming it Rancho de San Rafael, with auction proceeds going to Epsteins victims. But heres the twist thats sparking calls for investigation: fresh Epstein files mention possible remains of two foreign girls buried on the land, victims of strangulation, and local officials are demanding transparency from Huffines, whos now running for Texas comptroller. This ranch was central to Epsteins dark schemes, mentioned over 4200 times in millions of documents, so its hitting close to home, reminding us how past shadows can linger on our high desert soil and why accountability matters for properties like this[1].

Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Monday, February 2nd.

We're starting this week with a major legal development that could reshape how states approach social media regulation. The first stand-alone trial brought by New Mexico prosecutors against Meta is getting underway right here in Santa Fe, with jury selection beginning today. Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed this lawsuit back in 2023, accusing the social media giant of creating what he calls a breeding ground for predators who target children for sexual exploitation. The case is built on a state undercover investigation where prosecutors posed as children online to document sexual solicitations and Meta's response. This trial is expected to last nearly two months, with opening statements scheduled for February 9th. Legal experts say a victory here could have ripple effects across the country and potentially around the globe, establishing a new legal pathway for states to go after social media companies using consumer protection and nuisance laws.

Now, if you're looking to get out and enjoy what Santa Fe has to offer this week, there's plenty happening. The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture is hosting Late Night Date Night on February 13th, a day before Valentine's Day, where couples and singles alike can enjoy art activities, food from Boxcar, and even make their own Valentine cards through printmaking. Tickets are 15 dollars per person.

You'll find live performances including the Albuquerque Chinese Folk Dance Ensemble, lion dance parades, and taiko drumming throughout the day. There'll also be traditional treats and hands-on art activities for the whole family.

For those interested in art and culture, the New Mexico Museum of Art has several events. On February 6th, they're hosting an exhibition of Depression-era paintings by Tom Lea. And on February 7th, they're celebrating the opening of a new exhibit called O'Powa O'Meng, The Art and Legacy of Jody Folwell, with a community day open house running all day.

On a more serious note, our community continues to grapple with important issues. Last Thursday, U.S. Representative Teresa Leger Fernandez joined faith leaders from across Santa Fe for a candlelight vigil at the First Presbyterian Church. More than a hundred people gathered to honor the lives of immigrants who have died in federal custody, including 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who was killed by immigration agents in Minnesota. According to federal data, at least 30 people died in ICE custody last year alone, more than the previous four years combined. Leger Fernandez and other local leaders are calling for accountability and action from federal officials.

Meanwhile, the New Mexico House of Representatives passed House Bill 9, the Immigrant Safety Act, on Friday by a vote of 40 to 29. The bill now moves to the Senate and would prohibit state and local governments from renewing contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for civil immigration detention. This could significantly impact detention facilities throughout the state.
