By the authority vested in him as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, Donald J. Trump has issued an order concerning immigration policies and their impact on national security.
The order highlights that previous immigration policies have led to serious consequences, including allowing criminal elements such as cartels, gangs, terrorists, human traffickers, and others to enter the country. It states these open-border policies have resulted in numerous tragic incidents involving American citizens.
One specific case mentioned is that of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl who was murdered on June 17, 2024, in Houston, Texas. Two Venezuelan nationals allegedly involved with a gang were charged with her murder after being released into the United States by the prior administration. Jocelyn is remembered for her kindness and passion for animals.
To honor her memory, it has been ordered that the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge near Jocelyn's home in Texas be renamed as the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge." This action aims to preserve her legacy permanently.
Within 30 days of this order's issuance date, actions will be taken under applicable law to implement this renaming. The Secretary of the Interior is tasked with updating procedures and ensuring all federal references reflect this change.
The order clarifies that it should not interfere with existing legal authorities or functions related to budgetary or legislative matters. It also specifies that it does not create enforceable rights against the U.S. government or its entities.
Donald J. Trump signed this order at The White House on March 4, 2025.
