What it means

Renames the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas to the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge" in memory of a 12-year-old girl allegedly murdered by immigrants who entered the country illegally. The Secretary of Interior must implement the change within 30 days.

Expected impact

  • Creates a permanent memorial honoring a young victim while highlighting the administration's border security stance
  • Updated signage, maps, and federal documents will reflect the new name
  • Wildlife conservation activities at the refuge will continue unchanged under the new designation
  • May raise awareness about immigration policy debates and border security issues
