Trump Brings Mother of Slain Child to Tears With Executive Order
President Donald Trump brought the mother of a child believed to have been killed by illegal immigrants to tears Tuesday night during his speech to a joint session of Congress.
Alexis Nungray lost her 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, on June 17, 2024. Two illegal aliens from Venezuela allegedly lured Jocelyn under a bridge near her home in Houston and, according to court documents, “took her pants off, tied her up, and killed her, then threw her body into the bayou.” The two have been arrested and charged in connection with the crime.
“Alexis, I promised that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter,” Trump said, looking up at Nungray, who was seated in the upper level of the House Gallery as Trump spoke.
“Earlier tonight,” Trump continued, “I signed an order keeping my word to you.”
The president said that because Jocelyn loved animals and nature, he signed an executive order renaming the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Galveston Bay, where Jocelyn lived, to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Refuge.
