Outside of embassies, the US wouldn't have a place to set up government facilities in someone else's country. Deportees are handed to the receiving country's authorities at most. ICE "camps" (detention facilities) are to process people prior to deporting. Once in another country, they're already deported.

So if someone is sent to Guantanamo, they're actually sent to Cuba and Cuba chooses to put them in Guantanamo?
Such are anomalies. Do you know of a specific US-owned camp in Mexico?
No, why would I? You didn't need to know the staff rota at Dachau to know the government was doing bad things, way back then.
> No, why would I?

Because your original comment was:

> Weren't some of the German tourists last year sent to an ICE camp in Mexico?

Why would I need to know the name of the camp to remember that some people were sent to one? Should I also remember the name and ages of the tourists?
You think a Mexican would see a foreign government institution outside of an embassy and not raise a stink about it? Especially one that may hold citizens captive by a foreign body in their own land? You can't hide something like that. You wouldn't be able to hide the transport either. You'd be able to find it as easily as Guantanamo pops up when you search "us camp in cuba". No such thing when you search "us camp in mexico".
