A BILL

To rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the State of 
Texas as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. 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 5, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed 
Executive Order 14229 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.

SEC. 2. RENAMING OF ANAHUAC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE.

(a) Renaming.--The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the 
State of Texas shall be known as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National 
Wildlife Refuge''.
(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, 
paper, or other record of the United States to the national wildlife 
refuge referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference 
to the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.
