I thought this applied to Guam as well?

oh, right, that one as well

also the virgin islands but by default folks from territories are nationals-not-citizens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_nationality_law#Nationals …

Thank you colonialism for all these fun and "interesting" special cases

not just colonialism, also bird poop law (almost all of the uninhabited island territories are because of this one) https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title48/chapter8&edition=prelim …

my "favorite" territory case is Palmyra Atoll, which used to be a part of hawaii but when it got statehood they explicitly excluded the atoll (nobody lives there, it's unimportant, but i still feel bad for it)

it's the only unorganized-but-incorporated territory we have because of this

it's real cool how we included territories in our constitution so we could do legal colonialism and deny people who live there rights until they assimilate.
