AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Citizenship Fight: After the Supreme Court setback, Rep. Morgan Griffith is pushing the “End Birthright Citizenship for the Territories Act,” aiming to limit automatic citizenship in Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—sparking pushback from territorial leaders who warn it could create a “subclass” of Americans. Deep-Sea Mining Pushback: American Samoa’s opposition to federal seabed mining is growing as BOEM advances a proposed lease notice tied to a potential November 19, 2026 auction; Governor Pulaalii says the territory is reviewing the notice and raising concerns, while local and regional voices warn of irreversible harm to the ocean, culture, and tuna-related livelihoods. Local Governance: The American Samoa Government submitted its FY 2027 budget to the Fono, proposing $789.3 million in spending (about 2% less than FY 2026), with hearings set to begin July 27. Community & Culture: “Chasing Yesterday” endurance runners are set to arrive for a marathon challenge, and Manu’atele marked the 122nd anniversary of the Manu’a Cession Day with church and cultural events. Public Health & Safety: DOH reminded travelers they can import only limited food and properly labeled, declared medications from Samoa for personal use; DOH also explained why some health-violation closures can reopen once corrective actions and inspections are completed. Sports & Youth: Boys & Girls Clubs wrapped up its DIY ukulele project through the AS Visitors Bureau “Save the Music” program, and AS hosted a welcome dinner for teams in the WBSC Oceania U15 Women’s Softball World Cup qualifier.
