Description
President Donald Trump announced an executive order renaming a Galveston wildlife refuge after a Houston girl who was allegedly killed by undocumented immigrants.
Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, was found dead in June 2024 after she was reported missing. The case got national attention and led to the Justice for Jocelyn Act introduced last year by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls.
Alexis Nungaray, her mother, was a guest of First Lady Melania Trump for the president's address to a joint session of Congress. President Trump spoke about the girl and her mother in the speech.
Trump revealed he had signed an executive order renaming a wildlife refuge in Galveston. The order renamed the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge.
