INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: FEDERAL INTERVENTION & OPS CHECK 📡⚖️
​DATE: January 13, 2026
CLASSIFICATION: 1049 // SPECIAL DIRECTIVES

​Operators, the situation in Colorado has moved from a cold legal standoff into a heated "Revenge Campaign" of federal strangulation. The "Glass Empire" is applying maximum pressure to force a state-level reboot.

​1. TINA PETERS: THE "HARSH" CLEMENCY PIVOT 🏔️⛓️

​The pressure from the White House is starting to create cracks in the state's resolve.
​Governor's Signal: On January 9, 2026, Colorado Governor Jared Polis described Peters' nine-year sentence as "harsh," fueling intense speculation about potential clemency.
​The Balancing Act: Polis stated he is balancing the "threat to society" posed by the 70-year-old Peters against allowing her to "spend her last few years at home".

2/5

​State vs. Federal Pardon: While Peters is asking a state appeals court to recognize President Trump's "symbolic" pardon as valid—a move state attorneys call a "novel" and unconstitutional request—Polis holds the real "Admin Key" through commutation (reducing her sentence).
​Current Location: Peters remains at the La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo, though her attorneys are due in court next week for a major appeal.

​2. FEDERAL INTERVENTION: THE "COLORADO RETRIBUTION" 🛑💰
​Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser expanded a federal lawsuit on January 11, 2026, accusing the Trump administration of an unprecedented campaign of punishment.

​3/5

The Funding Chokehold: The administration has frozen federal funds for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Child Care and Development Fund, and Social Services Block Grants.
​Asset Relocation: The lawsuit links the relocation of U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama directly to Trump's "dislike" for the state's mail-in voting systems and the incarceration of Peters.
​Infrastructural Retaliation: Retribution has extended to the vetoing of water projects (Arkansas Valley Conduit) and the denial of disaster declarations for wildfire-prone rural counties.
​Research Dismantling: Federal officials have moved to dissolve a climate research lab and withhold transportation funds as part of the "Pardon Enforcement" strategy.

​3. KINETIC ACTION: THE "RENEE GOOD" INCIDENT 🚔⚡
​Federal enforcement has entered a "live fire" phase in several major cities.
​Minneapolis Shooting: A 37-year-old woman, Renee Nicole Good, was shot and killed by ICE agents during a high-tension enforcement operation in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.
​National Unrest: The shooting has triggered protests across America, but the White House has issued a "strong defense" of the agents' actions, framing it as necessary for "National Self-Defense".
​Mass Arrest Quotas: ICE has been "unleashed" with a 120% increase in manpower, currently attempting to reach a nationwide quota of 3,000 arrests per day.
​Portland Operations: The Portland Police activated an Incident Management Team on January 10, 2026, following 82 total arrests related to ongoing protests near the federal ICE building.
