The Brief

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he has asked the Justice Deparment to investigate foot-washing stations at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.

Abbott called the stations “discriminatory” in his letter addressed to Attorney General Todd Blanche and equated them to “white-only bathrooms.”

In the letter, the governor also took issue with a prayer room at Bush Airport that he says has “copies of the Quaran, prayer rugs, prayer beads and a turbah.”
