Legal/Finance: A CNMI federal court approved forfeiture tied to an alleged Imperial Pacific International bribery and money-laundering scheme, ordering $108k+ forfeited and other seized funds returned. Broadband Rebuild: CNMI and IT&E signed a $53M BEAD-funded plan for a fully underground fiber network, while FEMA reimbursement filings continue. Travel & Security: A push to restrict Chinese visa-free travel to CNMI is being flagged as a potential tourism hit, as regional leaders keep gaming out what Beijing-U.S. tensions could mean for island security.
