“The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project” while the DOJ investigates possible civil rights violations.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced he stopped all construction of the Muslim EPIC City in North Texas due to state and DOJ investigations.
Abbott wrote on X:
Texas has halted any construction of EPIC City.
There is no construction taking place.
The state of Texas has launched about a half dozen investigations into this project.
That includes criminal investigations.
And, the US Department of justice is also investigating.
This matter, and similar matters, are taken very seriously, and actions are being taken to address all concerns.

The EPIC City is the brainchild of the East Plano Islamic Center. From KERA News:
The 402-acre development would be in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties roughly 40 miles northeast of Dallas near the city of Josephine, and would include a new mosque, more than 1,000 single and multi-family homes, a K-12 faith-based school, senior housing, an outreach center, commercial developments, sports facilities, and a community college.
In an interview in December, Yasir Qadhi, a resident scholar at the Plano mosque, said the idea for EPIC City came as the Muslim population continues to grow in the region.
“We need more space, and there are people coming from across the country,” Qadhi said. “Dallas is now known to be a hub of people of our faith, coming not just to the city, but specifically to our mosque.”
The first 450 plots sold out within days of its announcements on the mosque’s website, Qadhi said.

I think it was planned to be a future No-Go Zone.
Somewhat similar to Sadiq Khan, aka The Mayor of London, England. First elected in 2016, currently on his 3rd term.
Currently giving London the ‘Angela Merkle’ Treatment, encouraging all manner of Muslim increase to the population, legal and otherwise.
Well... muzzies and red-dots.
History..... 1400 years / 700 MILLION innocent people murdered.... and very many of them NOT muslims!
What would happen if they tried to build a mini Vatican city? The outrage would commence.
During WW! while fighting in Iraq, the Ottomans asked for a truce with the British in order to massacre the local arabs who were harassing both parties. When the British expressed surprise, the Turks just said “It has to be done from time to time”
Thank you Governor Abbott
What would happen if a “same sex” couple were to try and buy a house there? Let’s see how the housing discrimination laws will apply.
Nothing has been halted. The permitting process is just beginning, and no court will block it.
