HUD opens discrimination investigation into a Muslim development in Texas.
Analysis Summary
The article's central claim that HUD has opened a discrimination investigation into a Muslim development in Texas is strongly corroborated by multiple recent verification sources (Sources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The claim about the project including homes and a mosque is reasonably inferred from the sources' descriptions of an "Islamic community" or "Muslim-centric development." The assertion that the project has drawn "attacks" from Republican Texas officials receives partial support from Source 5, which mentions Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's support for the probe, but the claim about the Justice Department closing a similar inquiry last year is not verified by any of the provided sources.
