Executive Order Category Rationale

Justification

This executive order's primary action is to rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge as the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge" to commemorate and preserve the memory of a 12-year-old murder victim. Section 2 explicitly directs the Secretary of the Interior to "rename" the refuge and "ensure that her life is permanently commemorated therein," with all Federal references to reflect this renaming. While Section 1 contains extensive policy language about immigration issues, the operative and substantive action of the order is the designation of a memorial—a clear hallmark of Historical Recognition & Commemoration. The order's stated purpose is to ensure the refuge "will forever honor and preserve the memory" of Jocelyn Nungaray, making the commemoration the fundamental outcome of this order.
