DOJ Concludes Housing Development Inquiry by Texas Muslims

The Department of Justice announced today that it has concluded its investigation into the proposed housing development in Texas, which includes a central mosque. The project, known as EPIC City, is being developed by the East Plano Islamic Center in Plano, Texas. The development initially faced scrutiny from Texas Republicans, who raised concerns about potential discrimination against non-Muslims. The DOJ’s decision to end the inquiry suggests that the project has passed the necessary legal and regulatory checks.
