Federal Civil Rights Probe into Texas Muslim Community Sparks Legal and Political Debate
In May 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) initiated a federal civil rights probe into a proposed Muslim-centered community development in Texas known as EPIC City. Spearheaded by the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), the 402-acre project near Josephine, Texas, aims to include residential units, educational institutions, a mosque, and other community facilities. The development has drawn scrutiny from Republican leaders, including Senator John Cornyn, Governor Greg Abbott, and Attorney General Ken Paxton, who express concerns over potential religious exclusivity and the imposition of Islamic law.
