Colorado Springs Chamber to File Amicus Brief Against AG's Space Command Lawsuit
The Colorado Springs Chamber & Economic Development Corp. plans to file an amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, supporting the Trump administration's motion to dismiss Colorado AG Phil Weiser's lawsuit regarding the relocation of Space Command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama.
The brief is endorsed by the Colorado Springs City Council and the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners, arguing the lawsuit politicizes national security and undermines the city's relationship with federal defense. The relocation could result in approximately 1,000 job losses and is viewed as part of a broader trend of litigation that risks damaging Colorado Springs' credibility as a defense partner. The amicus brief is expected to be filed in the coming weeks.
