President Donald Trump is expected to announce a plan to move the United States Space Force Command Headquarters from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama, on Tuesday.

According to several reports, Trump plans to reverse a Biden-era decision to move the Command HQ to Colorado Springs — a move that was itself a reversal of Trump’s initial plan to locate the branch’s command headquarters in Huntsville.

Reuters White House Correspondent Nandita Bose shared the news in a post on X, saying, “The Trump administration is planning to announce as early as Tuesday that it will relocate U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Huntsville, Alabama, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the deliberations via @MichaelStone The decision would reverse a move made under President Joe Biden’s administration, which had selected Colorado Springs as the permanent home for the military’s newest combatant command in 2023.”

Governor Kay Ivey (R-AL) suggested the move might be coming soon a week prior to the announcement: “Space Command coming to Huntsville? Count on it. Huntsville was already chosen once before as the home for U.S. Space Command — and for good reason. I remain confident that Alabama is the right place for this mission to take root and thrive.”

A number of Republicans argued that Biden’s decision to move the Space Force Command HQ from Alabama to Colorado was politically motivated — and part of a concerted effort to only build military installations in states that did not have abortion restrictions.

“My concern is, it looks like it’s payback from the President of the United States – and payback is a very dangerous game,” Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA) said in 2023 during a hearing about the move with Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall.

Radio host Jeff Hunt suggested that Trump could also be hitting back at Colorado over lawsuits against him and his administration.

“I’m not saying Trump is right to move Space Force from Colorado. However, having every statewide official constantly bragging about how many lawsuits they have against the president and a Secretary of State who tried to keep him off the ballot sure didn’t help the situation,” he said.

And OANN White House Correspondent Daniel Baldwin noted that cost could also play a role, saying that Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) had said the move could result in nearly half a billion dollars saved.

“Moving the Space Force Command from Colorado to Alabama will save taxpayers $420,000,000 per Rep. Mike Rogers,” Baldwin said. “Erases a politically motivated move from Biden.”

Actress Robin Wright, best known for starring in cult classic films like “The Princess Bride” and “Forrest Gump,” as well as the Netflix series “House of Cards,” said she fled the United States in favor of life in the United Kingdom.

The 59-year-old star also described America as a “sh** show.”

“It’s liberating to be done,” Wright told The Times of London. “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60% of what you wanted.”

“I love being in this country,” the Texas native said of moving to the coast of England. “There’s a freedom of self here. People are so kind. They’re living. They’re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That’s most of America. Everything’s rush, competition and speed.”

The Golden Globe winner added, “Everyone’s building a huge house, and I’m just done with all that — I love the quiet. And I’ve met my person. Finally.”

Wright, who has been married three times before, moved to the U.K. with her current boyfriend, architect Henry Smith. The actress was married to outspoken leftist activist Sean Penn from 1996 until 2010.

She is one of several celebrities to leave the United States since Trump was elected president. Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, Rosie O’Donnell, and Richard Gere are just some of the stars to leave. 

While Wright didn’t mention politics specifically while discussing her departure from the U.S., other celebrities were more explicit about their reason for leaving.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,’” comedian Degeneres said of moving away permanently post-election. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”

O’Donnell said she moved to Ireland to protect her trans-identifying child. 

“I miss many things about life there at home, and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country,” the comedian said after her move overseas earlier this year. “And when, you know, it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back. It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know,” she added.
