Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi had opened a federal investigation into a proposed Muslim community that may discriminate against non-Muslims.
The EPIC Muslim center is already accused of “religious discrimination of Christians, Jews, and other non-Muslim minorities.” The 402-acre community will reportedly include a mosque, 1,000 homes, an outreach center, and senior living spaces about 40 miles away from Dallas.
‘Religious-based discrimination is a constitutional violation as well as a federal rights violation.’
Cornyn said Friday that the Justice Department was looking into whether federal discrimination laws had been violated.
“Religious discrimination and Sharia Law have no home in Texas,” he wrote on social media. “Any violations of federal law must be swiftly prosecuted.”
