Can an inmate get deported in a detention center?

Yes, an inmate can be deported from a detention center. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. citizen inmate with a final order of deportation or removal may be held under immigration authority even after the completion of a criminal sentence. Such individuals are typically transferred from regular correctional settings to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center to facilitate their deportation back to their home country.
