US EditionColorado Sues over Space Command HQ Moving to Alabama
Colorado's lawsuit claims the move was politically motivated to punish mail-in voting and alleges it violates the Constitution and presidential authority.
- On Oct. 29, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block President Donald Trump's relocation of U.S. Space Command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama.
- President Donald Trump said Colorado's support for mail-in voting was a major factor in his September decision to relocate Space Command, and the complaint alleges the move was politically motivated and exceeded presidential authority.
- The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce said 1,400 Colorado jobs depended on the Space Command HQ and its annual economic impact was $1 billion, while military and independent reviews found Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville offered strategic value.
- Legal filings name the Department of Defense and the Air Force as defendants and say the Executive Branch failed to follow statutory relocation reporting requirements, while Weiser argued the move violates the Tenth Amendment.
- Colorado warns the relocation could cost thousands of jobs and billions of dollars, part of a six-year tug of war starting with Trump's award to Huntsville, reversed by President Joe Biden, and resumed in September.
