ELOY, AZ - JULY 30: A female detainee cuts a fellow immigrant's hair in the women's wing of the detention facility for illegal immigrants on July 30, 2010 in Eloy, Arizona. Most immigrants at the center are awaiting deportation or removal and return to their home countries, while some are interned at the facility while their immigration cases are being reviewed. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in Arizona holds almost 3,000 immigrants statewide, all at the detention facilities in Eloy and nearby Florence.
