AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Citizenship Fight in the Marianas: Guam and CNMI leaders joined a growing pushback against Virginia Rep. Morgan Griffith’s “End Birthright Citizenship for Territories Act,” warning it could upend long-standing birthright rules tied to the Organic Act/Covenant and set a dangerous precedent. Defense & Rights: A House NDAA amendment to codify Trump’s trans military ban failed, but two anti-trans measures passed—one affecting TRICARE coverage and another targeting trans girls in school sports—while CNMI’s Kimberlyn King-Hinds and Guam’s James Moylan voted against the ban. Power Restoration: CNMI’s utility CUC said new transformers and poles arrived July 22 to speed recovery after Super Typhoons Sinlaku and Bavi, though Saipan restoration remains uneven and Rota is still the hardest hit. Telecom Recovery: IT&E and Docomo Pacific briefed the PUC on ongoing mobile restoration; fuel shortages, damaged towers, and lack of commercial power are slowing full service, with Rota still struggling. Tourism & Travel: CNMI hotel and business groups backed keeping EVS-TAP after the Senate blocked a move to eliminate it, citing tourism stability and federal security screening. Logistics for Recovery: CNMI partners coordinated donated durable medical equipment distribution via FODAC, while Tinian and Port Authority of Guam partners delivered critical fuel to Rota after port damage. Business & Training: Local firms are seeing new federal contracting doors through the Air Force Mentor-Protégé program, and Guam hosted a regional conference on cybersecurity, AI, and infrastructure.
