Texas Republicans Block Planned EPIC City Development
Attorney General Ken Paxton and Governor Greg Abbott have moved to block a planned development called EPIC City—short for East Plano Islamic Center—near Josephine, about 45 minutes outside Dallas, saying it would be an illegal 'sharia' compound and would destroy Texas land. Abbott signed a bill aimed specifically at the project while Paxton has pursued legal measures as he mounts a Republican primary challenge to Sen. John Cornyn, prompting debates over religious freedom and land use in Texas.
