Tina Peters Placed in Solitary as Officials Warn Polis Against Federal Intervention

By: Brian Lupo | The Gateway Pundit

In a disturbing update shared on X, the official account for 70-year-old Gold Star mother Tina Peters announced that she has been transferred to solitary confinement in the Colorado prison where she has been held for the past year.

According to the post, Peters filed a grievance after a prison teacher allegedly told inmates that Peters “was never going to leave prison” and that the state would “never let her out.” When Peters confronted the teacher in the hallway, the teacher and several inmates reportedly began “antagonizing” her and “ganging up on her verbally.”

Colorado Officials Urge Gov. Polis to Block Federal Transfer

At the suggestion of another inmate, Peters filed a grievance. Following that filing, she was taken to the medical unit, strip-searched, and required to meet with the manager of the prison’s mental health facility. She was then informed she would be moved to solitary confinement for up to 17 days due to what officials described as an “internal affairs investigation.”

Although she was allowed to keep her iPad, she currently has no internet access and cannot call her approved contacts or attorneys unless the entire pod is locked down during her call.

Requests to Block Federal Transfer of Peters From Colorado Officials

On November 12th, the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) sent a letter to the Colorado Department of Corrections requesting that Peters be transferred to a federal custody while her state conviction is under appeal. This request comes in addition to a federal habeas petition filed earlier this year by her attorney, Peter Ticktin, which remains undecided.

The transfer request immediately triggered pushback from Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubenstein—the prosecutor in Peters’ case. In a letter to Governor Jared Polis, the two Democrats urged him to deny the transfer, claiming Peters “harmed her local community and the citizens she was elected to serve,” and noting that an “elected Republican official” authorized her prosecution.

They argued that Peters’ actions “put Mesa’s election systems at risk and violated the public’s trust,” referencing her creation of a forensic image of Mesa County’s election system before the Secretary of State’s “Trusted Build.” That image preserved federal and state-mandated election records still within their legal retention period.

The letter further claimed that allowing the transfer could help “aid the unauthorized or illegal release of a convicted felon by the federal government,” referencing comments by federal officials and the President calling for her release.
