In a speech to Congress on Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Shelter in honor of Joselyn Nungarei.

In June, two undocumented immigrants from Venezuela allegedly killed a 12-year-old girl who was allegedly sexually abused. They are said to have disposed of her body in a stream. In her speech, Trump acknowledged the presence of Joselyn’s mother, Alexis Nungarei, and spoke about how Joselyn was lured, assaulted and murdered after a simple trip to a local convenience store.

“She was lured, tied up, attacked under a bridge for two hours and horribly murdered. It was two illegal alien monsters from Venezuela who were arrested and charged with this heinous crime, released to America by the last administration through their ridiculous open border,” Trump said. “The death of this beautiful 12-year-old girl and the pain of her mother and family touched greatly on our entire country. Alexis, I have promised that I will always remember your daughter, your grand daughter.”

The executive order specifically commemorates Jocelyn. In her memory, the 34,000-acre Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge near her home has been renamed Jocelyn Nungarei National Wildlife Refuge, ensuring that your love for animals and nature will be respected forever.

“I signed you an order to keep my word. One thing I learned about Jocelyn is that she loved animals so much. She loved nature. You will find a magnificent National Wildlife Refuge, a 34,000-acre sanctuary, untouched and peaceful, 34,000-acre sanctuary, for all the godly creatures on the edge of the Galveston Galveston,” Trump said.

During a Congressional hearing on September 10, Nungarray attributed her daughter’s death to “open border policy” and to the Biden Harris administration’s catch-release program. She criticized the federal immigration law permission The Department of Homeland Security “released parole” in exchange for detaining immigrants for “humanitarian reasons or serious public interest.”

Trump issued The executive order, which criticised the previous administration’s immigration policy, said it allowed cartels, terrorists and other dangerous elements to overturn the southern border. This led to tragic and preventable murders of many American citizens, and claimed the direct impact of these policies on national security and public safety, Trump said.
