Since the mid-2000s Milan has been a destination for many Micronesian immigrants, who are allowed to move freely to the United States due to the Compact of Free Association between the two countries, but have few legal pathways to citizenship and permanent residency. A third to a half of Milan's population is estimated to be Micronesian, most of them ethnic Chuukese.
