Chip Roy Sounds Alarm Over Islamic Development Near Military Base
26th August 2026
Rep. Chip Roy has sent a letter to several high-ranking federal officials to voice his concerns about a planned Islamic development being built near a U.S. military training base in San Antonio.
Roy, a Republican from Texas, is requesting that members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet look into the Islamic center’s planned community and “examine whether any criminal, civil, financial, or immigration statutes have been violated in its effort to fulfill its campus expansion project.” The letter, obtained by the Daily Signal, was sent to U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.
Roy learned of the San Antonio development after the RAIR Foundation USA released a report two weeks ago warning that the Northside Islamic Center of San Antonio is nearing completion of a 7.25-acre campus less than 20 miles from Camp Bullis Military Training Reservation in Bexar County.
