Trump Renames Wildlife Refuge in Honor of Jocelyn Nungaray During Congressional Address

The president signed an executive order dedicating the sanctuary to the 12-year-old girl, whose death highlighted calls for stricter immigration policies.

President Trump announced the renaming of the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge to honor Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl allegedly killed by two Venezuelan nationals last summer.
Jocelyn's mother, Alexis Nungaray, was an invited guest at Trump's joint address to Congress, where the executive order was revealed and signed.
The 34,000-acre refuge, located near Galveston Bay in Texas, was chosen due to Jocelyn's love for animals and nature, as described by her family.
The president used the occasion to emphasize his administration's focus on reducing illegal immigration and addressing crimes committed by undocumented individuals.
Trump also highlighted the case of Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student killed by an illegal immigrant, as part of his broader push for tougher immigration enforcement.
