Update on Package Delivery Suspension

Over the past week, my office has been working nonstop on the reported suspension of certain outbound airmail services from the Marianas. After first hearing about the suspension on Friday, I immediately reached out to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Postal Service for answers, and communicated with Guam, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to share information and learn about the impacts across our islands. This week, I met with senior White House Officials, who confirmed that the intent of Executive Order 14324 was not to impact mail services from the CNMI. They assured me that they are working with USPS and CBP to resolve this issue, which so far appears to affect only Guam and the CNMI, and no longer impacts inbound mail delivery. Reliable mail service is essential for families, businesses, and healthcare needs of our islands. I will continue to press federal agencies until this suspension is lifted and our community receives the clarity and service it deserves.
