Iceland doesn't allow invaders on their island. They sent the FBI packing.
FBI Banned from Iceland
FBI agents landed in Reykjavík without prior notification in an
attempt to investigate WikiLeaks operations in the country, but Home
Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson found out about the visit and forced them to
leave the country, with the Icelandic government then issuing a formal
protest to US authorities.
...
A private plane landed at the Reykjavík airport in August 2011.
Onboard were FBI agents who'd flown directly to Iceland from the US.
Their mission was to investigate WikiLeaks operations in the country as
part of a larger investigation of the whistleblower organisation. The
FBI agents contacted the head of the national Icelandic police and the
head prosecutor in an effort to gain access to all available information
on WikiLeaks.
Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson learned of the visit and summoned the
FBI agents. They were told that the Icelandic government would not
permit a foreign power running their own investigations in the country.
Jónasson admonished the FBI agents to return to the US.
