Colorado Sues Over Space Command Move, Citing Trump's Alleged Retaliation
Colorados lawsuit against the relocation of United States Space Command to Alabama alleges that Donald Trump aimed to retaliate against the states postal voting practices.
- Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser filed a lawsuit claiming the move of United States Space Command from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama, was unconstitutional.
- The lawsuit asserts that the relocation decision was motivated by Donald Trumps desire to penalize Colorado for its mail-in voting system during his presidency.
- In 2023, President Joe Biden announced that United States Space Command would remain permanently in Colorado Springs, Colorado, reversing the relocation to Alabama.
