Add another voice to the call to relocate the FBI’s Washington headquarters to Alabama.

Congressman Gary Palmer, a Republican from Hoover and chair of the House GOP Policy Committee, chimed in and threw his support behind the idea first floated by Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan as part of a GOP response to what the party sees as a “weaponization” of the U.S. Department of Justice by Democrats.

While it appears at this point to perhaps be the longest of longshots to bring the FBI HQ to its multi-billion dollar campus at Redstone Arsenal, Palmer and Sen. Tommy Tuberville have offered their backing.

“We already have a huge facility in Huntsville, Alabama, that the FBI just built,” Palmer said in an interview with NBC News in a story that published Tuesday. “That could accommodate them and that facility can accommodate expansion, so we don’t need another $4 to 5 billion expense for another building.”

The idea of moving the headquarters away from the Washington area comes as the FBI continues a years-long search for a new location away from the deteriorating J. Edgar Hoover Building. The states of Maryland and Virginia are lobbying to attract the headquarters.

Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, raised the idea of moving headquarters to Huntsville in an interview with the Wall Street Journal last month. The newspaper reported that Jordan believed the FBI would be less likely to be infected by “liberal politics” if the bureau moved to Huntsville.

It’s becoming a popular talking point among Republican leaders. In the NBC story, North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer advocated for sites in his home state as well as South Dakota and Nebraska.

Less than a week after Jordan made his suggestion, Tuberville joined in.

“I agree with (Jordan): The best place for FBI headquarters is its state-of-the-art facility in Huntsville,” Tuberville posted in a message on Twitter.

Rhetoric aside, there are seemingly multiple hurdles blocking the move. The FBI has said in a statement that the Huntsville facility could not accommodate a minimum of 8,500 employees at headquarters. FBI plans in Huntsville call for an employment capacity of about 5,000 by 2028. The FBI has also said there are “numerous operational reasons” for remaining in the Washington region.

A Democrat-controlled White House would also seem unlikely to agree to the Republican push.

In a one-sentence statement last month to AL.com, Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said, “We’re proud of the FBI presence in Huntsville and will support whatever Congress decides is best for the betterment of our country.”

The Huntsville campus has earned the moniker of HQ2 with 19 of the bureau’s 26 divisions having a presence at Redstone Arsenal.
