From the Daily Caller: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Monday that his office launched a formal investigation into a proposed massive “sustainable city” development in Kaufman County, Texas.
The probe centers on allegations that the Dubai-linked project could be an unlawful attempt to establish a “sharia city” on American soil, potentially accommodating up to 20,000 foreign nationals in an unincorporated area of Kaufman County.
Paxton’s announcement directly credits “public reporting” as the trigger for the action. The Daily Caller exclusively reported Feb. 4 on how rural Kaufman County residents had grown increasingly alarmed by a seemingly secretive potential land acquisition by a Saudi Arabian private holding group, SEE Holdings.
The investigation revealed that a buyer from Dubai, represented by a Dallas, Texas, law firm, was seeking approval for three new municipal water districts to support a so-called sustainable city project. SEE Holdings is a firm known for its net-zero developments in Dubai, which often include mosques and community amenities aligned with Islamic principles.
“I’m announcing an investigation into a potentially illegal “sharia city” development in Kaufman County. While you’re on American soil, you will obey America’s laws,” Paxton declared in a post on Monday, sharing a copy of his press release.
“There will be no ‘sharia city’ in Texas under my watch,” Paxton vowed in the letter.
