Attorney General Marshall Statement on Colorado’s Challenge to Space Command Decision

(Montgomery, Ala) – Attorney General Steve Marshall issued the following statement in response to Colorado’s lawsuit challenging the decision to locate U.S. Space Command headquarters in Huntsville:

“The Inspector General for the Department of Defense has confirmed that President Trump’s 2021 decision to select Huntsville was factually sound and well justified. It was the Biden administration that injected politics into the process when it reversed course, punished Alabama, and rewarded Colorado. Now that President Trump has made things right again, Colorado seeks to use the federal courts to reimpose Biden-era politics on Americans who have overwhelmingly rejected them.

This lawsuit is nothing more than a partisan attempt to overturn a lawful, evidence-based decision repeatedly validated by military experts, independent reviews, and congressional oversight. Alabama will vigorously defend this decision in court and is confident the law and facts are squarely on our side.

If Colorado insists on fighting a political battle in federal court, Alabama will meet them there, and win. Our focus remains on supporting our service members, strengthening national defense, and ensuring Space Command’s continued success in Huntsville.”
