'The plan could accommodate as many as 20,000 foreign nationals'In a clear stand for law, sovereignty and the rule of American jurisdiction, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a formal investigation into a potentially unlawful "sharia city" development in Kaufman County, warning that any attempt to establish a foreign-style enclave on Texas soil will not be tolerated.
The Feb. 9 press release from the attorney general's office revealed that a U.S. subsidiary of the Dubai-based developer SEE Holding, in partnership with Kaufman Solar LLC, has purchased thousands of acres of land near Kaufman, Texas, prompting concerns among local residents and state leaders about the nature and intent of the proposed project.
Public reporting suggests the plan could accommodate as many as 20,000 foreign nationals, and some Texans fear that it would effectively create a community governed by principles dramatically at odds with local and state law.
State investigation launched
Paxton has taken decisive legal action by issuing Requests to Examine ("RTEs") to SEE Holding and Kaufman Solar LLC. These demands seek critical documents and communications, including:
• Correspondence with local city, county, school and state officials related to the development;
• Agreements or relationships between the development entities; and
• Detailed information about land acquisition and development plans.
