Journalist Claims to Flee After Alleged Attack Related to Reporting on Jeffrey Epstein

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a journalist known for her reporting on Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch, stated that she is leaving the United States after alleging she was targeted in a "direct energy weapons" attack. Valdes-Rodriguez reported experiencing symptoms similar to those associated with "Havana syndrome" and claimed that her home was located by individuals dissatisfied with her coverage of Epstein's operations. She mentioned that she would be staying in safe houses while preparing to leave the country permanently. Valdes-Rodriguez's allegations include that the attacks may have involved a weapon placed near her home and that operators could create a real-time 3D model of her house. However, there is no public evidence supporting her claims. U.S. intelligence assessments have previously concluded that it is "very unlikely" that a foreign actor was responsible for the symptoms associated with "Havana syndrome," suggesting other explanations such as stress or environmental factors. Valdes-Rodriguez's reporting has focused on allegations of buried victims and connections between Epstein's ranch and intelligence networks, but these claims have not been substantiated.
