CAIR Asks DOJ to Reject Abbott’s Investigation Into Muslim Facilities at Texas Airports
28th August 2026
Earlier this week, the Council on American-Islamic Relations sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice asking officials to reject Gov. Greg Abbott’s request for an investigation into Texas airports.
CAIR’s letter comes after Abbott sent a letter referring Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport and the George Bush Intercontinental Airport to the DOJ for an investigation into alleged religious discrimination.
“These ablution stations single out one subset of the population for special treatment based on religion,” Abbott said. “They are not interfaith chapels open to all. They exist to benefit the Muslim population alone. Government-owned airports cannot favor one religion over all others.”
