The EXO collaboration is aimed at searching for neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{136}$Xe. Such observation would determine an absolute mass scale for the neutrinos, establish their Majorana nature, and constitute physics beyond the Standard Model. The EXO-200 detector is a single phase liquid xenon ultra low background TPC, with an active mass of 110kg of 80.6% enriched xenon in the isotope 136. The detector is currently operating at the WIPP site and collecting data with enriched xenon since May 2011. The latest results of the EXO-200 detector will be presented.
