(KERA) Gov. Greg Abbott announced a criminal investigation into the East Plano Islamic Center Monday — the fifth investigation announced by state officials in the last week.
Abbott directed the Texas Rangers to investigate EPIC and any affiliated entities for “potential criminal activities.”
But like other investigations, Abbott did not specify what laws may have been … violated — and his office has not responded to repeated requests for comment in the last week over why EPIC is being targeted.
“Texas is a law-and-order state, and those scheming to evade law enforcement scrutiny must know justice is awaiting them,” Abbott said in a press release.
