Governor Greg Abbott announced today that the Texas Funeral Service Commission has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) compound, ordering them to stop illegal funeral service operations.
According to a press release from Abbott's office, the Collin County development, which bills itself as a master-planned Islamic community, has been operating a funeral home without being properly licensed to do so by the Texas Funeral Service Commission.
Abbott also announced that around a dozen other state agencies were also investigating EPIC City, and he said, "Texas will continue to defend our communities from any threats posed by EPIC City."
