AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Birthright Citizenship Push: U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith introduced the “End Birthright Citizenship for Territories Act,” aiming to limit automatic citizenship for children born to non-U.S. parents in Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands—while American Samoa is described as excluded in the bill’s current framing. Deep-Sea Mining Backlash: Pacific voices and American Samoa leaders are condemning BOEM’s proposed steps toward offshore mineral leasing near the territory, warning it threatens the ocean, culture, and public health; Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata says her opposition to seabed mining remains unchanged. Public Safety & Courts: A man accused of altering payroll checks in Nu’uuli was charged with stealing and forgery; separate arrests followed alleged threats with a knife and a rake in Tafuna/Aasu. Health Funding: HHS/CDC awarded American Samoa DOH $493,002 to strengthen epidemiology, lab capacity, and infectious disease surveillance. Community & Services: ASCC psychology students donated household goods to families displaced by a Fagaima fire; Faipule Fagaima raised concerns to Port Administration over ramp use and immigration form distribution. Sports & Events: American Samoa welcomed teams for the WBSC Oceania U15 Women’s Softball World Cup qualifier; Swains Island faipule again requested FY2027 transportation funding. Local News: Another fire hit Pago Pago on July 22, with no official cause or displacement details released yet.
