Single women were often restricted from leaving Ellis Island due to concerns about their vulnerability and potential exploitation. Immigration officials feared that without family support, these women could become victims of human trafficking or fall into precarious situations. Additionally, societal norms of the time viewed single women as needing protection, which led to stricter regulations regarding their passage and settlement. Consequently, many were required to have a sponsor or family member waiting for them before they could leave the facility.
