Attorney General Phil Weiser statement on reports of Space Command HQ move
Sept. 2, 2025 (DENVER) - Attorney General Phil Weiser released the following statement in response to reports that the Trump administration will move Space Command Headquarters from Colorado Springs to Alabama:
"The Trump administration should not play political games with our nation's military readiness and military families. Moving Space Command Headquarters to Alabama is not only wrong for our national defense, but it's harmful to hundreds of Space Command personnel and their families. These El Paso County residents are our neighbors. They relied on the federal government's decision to keep Space Command HQ in Colorado Springs - they bought homes for their families, selected schools for their children, and have contributed to the local economy.
"The Colorado Attorney General's Office has been preparing in the event the president made such an unlawful decision to move Space Command HQ. If the Trump administration takes this step - I'm prepared to challenge it in court."
