The islands are among several American territories in which ICE has detention facilities, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a public research project at Syracuse University in New York that tracks immigration enforcement.
"While many of these detention facilities are concentrated along the southwest border with Mexico, every state and territory—including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands—has at least one ICE detention facility," the group said. "Some detention facilities are temporary holding rooms, while others are designed for long-term stays. Some hold only a single person on one occasion during the entire year, while others have tens of thousands who pass through their doors during this same period."
