SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) On June 17, 2024, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was 
        brutally murdered in Houston, Texas.
            (2) Two illegal aliens who were allegedly members of the 
        Tren de Aragua gang have been charged with her murder.
            (3) On March 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed 
        Executive Order 14229 (90 Fed. Reg. 11585; relating to honoring 
        Jocelyn Nungaray) renaming the area known as the Anahuac 
        National Wildlife Refuge to ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife 
        Refuge''.
            (4) Ms. Nungaray loved animals and, given the close 
        proximity of her hometown of Houston, it is fitting that the 
        Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge be renamed in her honor.
