Abbott Orders Texas Airport Funding Review Over Islamic Ablution Facilities
TL;DR
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott launched a review that could revoke current state funding and block future funds for Houston’s IAH and Dallas–Fort Worth’s DFW airports over Islamic ablution stations and a prayer room, arguing the facilities may constitute illegal religious discrimination and urging a federal review; DFW says it will not move forward with the project, though Abbott’s action could still affect funding.
