Last update: 11 hours ago

Immigration Scrutiny: China is demanding answers after a 51-year-old Chinese national, Lianyong Wei, died in Saipan hours after being taken into ICE custody, with officials still investigating the cause and not confirming whether a required health screening happened within 12 hours of intake. Disaster Recovery: FEMA approved $7.1 million in post-disaster Public Assistance funding for CNMI emergency protective measures tied to Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Tourism Upgrades: The Marianas Visitors Authority broke ground on the $1 million Marpi Tourist Sites Improvement Project, targeting Bird Island Lookout, Last Command Post and Suicide Cliff with safety and accessibility upgrades. Weather Watch: A tropical disturbance system is pulling away from the Marianas, but forecasters warn of lingering rip currents and showers through the holiday weekend. Local Sports & Talent: CNMI’s E’Anna Palacios Won was drafted fifth overall into South Korea’s KB Stars, and the NMI U20 boys opened AFC U20 qualifiers with a 7-0 loss to Mongolia. Community & Culture: September was proclaimed “We Will Never Forget Community Heroes Month,” and Chamorro and Carolinian Cultural Heritage Month was also officially recognized.
