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.
