(KERA) The U.S. Department of Justice has ended its civil rights investigation into EPIC City, a proposed Muslim housing development in North Texas accused of “religious discrimination.”
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon wrote in a letter earlier this month to Community Capital Partners — EPIC City’s corporate entity — that the agency was closing its probe.
“CCP has affirmed that all will be welcome in any future development, and that you plan to revise and develop marketing materials to reinforce that message consistent with your obligations under the Fair Housing Act,” Dhillon wrote. “Based on this information, the Department is closing its investigation at this time.”
CCP shared a copy of the letter with KERA News Wednesday.
