HONORING A GREAT AMERICAN: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order renaming the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge the âJocelyn Nungaray National Refugeâ to forever commemorate the life of twelve-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was tragically killed on June 17, 2024.
- Jocelyn Nungaray was brutally murdered in Houston, Texas, and two Venezuelan illegal aliensâboth reputedly Tren de Aragua gang membersâhave been charged with this heinous crime.
- These two men, caught near the border in early 2024, were released into the United States due to the Biden Administrationâs immigration policies. Only weeks later, they are alleged to have ended Jocelynâs life in a senseless act of violence.
- The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge will bear her name as a lasting tribute to her love of animals and passion for finding them homes.
THE TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES OF BIDENâS BORDER CRISIS: The prior administrationâs approach to immigration left the nation vulnerable to criminal activity and chaos.
- While Biden was president, the southern border was overrun by cartels, criminal gangs, suspected terrorists, human traffickers, smugglers, and illicit narcotics.
- The Biden Administrationâs lenient border policies allowed thousands of illegal aliens to enter the United States daily.
- The Biden Administration admitted that 40% of its catch-and-release migrants totally disappeared.
- Innocent American lives have been taken due to this migrant invasion, with victims like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin tragically losing their lives because of crimes committed by illegal aliens.
- At one point in 2024, illegal aliens made up 75% of arrests in Midtown Manhattan for crimes like assault, robbery, and domestic violence.
SEALING THE BORDER: On Day One, President Trump secured the border and launched a comprehensive strategy to restore safety and sovereignty to the United States.
- Apprehensions at the southern border are now at a record low, down 94% from a year ago.
- Would-be illegal border crossers have reportedly âgiven upâ and are returning to their own countries as ICE arrests of illegal immigrants have surged 627%.
- Mexican cartel operatives say they are âgenuinelyâ fearful âfor the first time in yearsâ amid the Trump Administrationâs crackdown.
- Since returning to office, President Trump has:
- Declared a national emergency at the southern border.
- Deployed additional personnel to the border, including members of the Armed Forces and the National Guard.
- Restarted border wall construction.
- Designated international cartels and other criminal organizationsâsuch as MS-13 and Tren de Araguaâas Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
- Suspended the entry of aliens into the U.S.
- Called for enhanced vetting and screening of aliens.
- Required the identification of countries that warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals.
- Restarted the detention and removal of aliens who are in violation of Federal law.
- Directed the Administration to resume the Migrant Protection Protocolsâalso known as âRemain in Mexicoââas soon as practicable.
- Ended the use of the CBP One app.
- Terminated all categorical parole programs, such as the âProcesses for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans,â that are contrary to President Trumpâs immigration agenda.
- Ended automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens.
- Paused the operation of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).
- Ended catch-and-release policies.
- Revoked the Biden Administrationâs disastrous executive actions that essentially opened our southern border.
