Sen. John Cornyn sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon last month asking them to to investigate potential “religious discrimination” at the East Plano Islamic Center's EPIC City, a proposed housing development that would be located in unincorporated Collin and Hunt counties.

Cornyn said in a press release on Friday the U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation in response to his concerns.

“I am grateful to Attorney General Bondi and the Department of Justice for hearing my concerns and opening an investigation into the proposed EPIC City development in North Texas,” Cornyn said. “Religious discrimination and Sharia Law have no place in the Lone Star State. Any violations of federal law must be swiftly prosecuted, and I know under the Trump administration, they will be.”

Dan Cogdell, the attorney for EPIC, said the North Texas mosque will cooperate with the investigation.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Make no mistake.  EPIC City has been planning for this since the first idea surfaced.  They have every excuse, lie, and legal loophole they could think of covered.  They aren't "cooperating," they're setting up a legal precedent for more cities just like it and some biased liberal federal judge will uphold it.
