A bombshell revelation has rocked the Texas Attorney General race as reports surface that Republican candidate State Sen. Mayes Middleton authored legislation that would strip local governments of their power to block religious housing developments—including Islamic "Sharia cities."
According to The Federalist, Middleton filed Senate Bill 854 in January 2025, disguising it as a solution to Texas' housing shortage. But the fine print tells a different story: the bill would have forced local communities to greenlight religious developments regardless of local opposition or concerns about incompatible ideologies.
Conservative activists are sounding the alarm on social media. "MY TEXAS FRIENDS KNOW THIS NAME.. STATE SEN. MAYES MIDDLETON! AUTHORED A BILL THAT WOULD STRIP LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OF THEIR ABILITY TO BLOCK RELIGIOUS HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF ISLAMIC CITIES," warned @MrLuigiMucci on X.
"Just a year ago, Mayes Middleton was introducing legislation that would open the door to Sharia developments and strip local control to block it. We can't win a war we don't recognize we're in. Texas cannot fall," posted @chiproytx.
This raises serious questions about Middleton's judgment and understanding of the threats facing Texas communities. While President Trump's administration works tirelessly to secure our borders and protect American values, some politicians are apparently willing to open backdoors for foreign ideologies that fundamentally oppose our Constitution.
The timing couldn't be worse for Middleton's campaign. As Trump's second term focuses on strengthening America First policies and defending traditional values, Texas Republicans are discovering their AG candidate was pushing legislation that would have undermined local control—a cornerstone conservative principle.
Wade Miller didn't mince words: "Wow. 🚨 Texas AG candidate Mayes Middleton tried to force through sharia cities developments in Texas! 👎 Texas, don't mess this up."
Patriots across Texas are asking the obvious question: How can someone who would strip away local communities' right to self-determination be trusted to defend Texas against federal overreach as Attorney General? This isn't just about housing policy—it's about preserving the constitutional principles that make Texas the last bastion of freedom in America.
