President Biden has decided to keep U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado, reversing plans by the Trump administration to move the headquarters to Alabama.
to Alabama partly because the state has imposed a near total ban on abortion. White House officials have denied Alabama’s restrictive abortion law was a factor in their review.“This fight is far from over,” Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, chair of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.
Colorado's Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, who had argued against the move to Alabama, welcomed the news that the command would remain in Colorado Springs.“Over the past two and half years, we have repeatedly made the case that the Trump administration’s decision to relocate U.S. Space Command was misguided.
The Biden White House directed the Air Force last December to conduct a review of the process that led to the Trump administration’s decision to move Space Command’s headquarters from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama.
