What the document says
“On June 17, 2024, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was brutally murdered in Houston, Texas.”
The first of the section's four findings. Congress states the date, the age of the person killed, and the city. The word brutally is the section's own.
What the document actually says
“On June 17, 2024, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was brutally murdered in Houston, Texas.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress says a 12 year old girl was killed. Her name was Jocelyn Nungaray. It happened in Houston, Texas, on June 17, 2024.
What this is about
A finding is a reason, not a rule. Congress gives it to say why it made this law.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

What the document says
“Two illegal aliens who were allegedly members of the Tren de Aragua gang have been charged with her murder.”
The second of the section's four findings. It records that two people have been charged with the murder, describes them as illegal aliens, and attributes gang membership to them with the qualifier allegedly. The finding names neither the two people nor the court, and states no outcome.
What the document actually says
“Two illegal aliens who were allegedly members of the Tren de Aragua gang have been charged with her murder.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress says two men are charged with her killing. It says they were in the country against the law. It says they may have been in a gang.
What this is about
Charged means a court has not yet ruled on the case. The gang named here is Tren de Aragua.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

What the document says
“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”
The third of the section's four findings. Congress records that the renaming had already been made by executive order before this Act, gives the order's number and its Federal Register citation, and states the new name the order gave. The order is not a document indexed here. Section 3 of this Act sets the same new name in statute.

That sentence, in plain words
Congress says the President signed an order on March 4, 2025. The order gave the refuge its new name.
What this is about
The President was Donald J. Trump. The order is number 14229. Part 3 of this law gives the same new name.

What the document says
“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.”
The fourth and last of the section's findings, and the one that states the reason for the renaming section 3 makes. Congress gives two grounds: that she loved animals, and that the refuge is close to her hometown of Houston.
What the document actually says
“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.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress says Jocelyn Nungaray loved animals. Her home town was close by. So it says the new name fits.
What this is about
A wildlife refuge is land set aside for wild animals. This one is near Houston, where she lived.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
Each of the four findings Congress states in the section, one entry apiece.
Nothing in the section is left out. What is recorded is what Congress stated, not the site's own account of the killing or of the prosecution: the dates, the charges and the attribution to a gang are the section's, and the site has not checked them against a court record.
A findings section states reasons. It requires nothing of anybody, and section 3 is the operative section of this Act. The third finding recites Executive Order 14229 at 90 Fed. Reg. 11585; that order is not indexed here, so nothing recorded here says what it holds beyond the words this section prints. The second finding says two people have been charged, which is an accusation and not a conviction, and the section records no outcome.
