Abstract

We explain that any closed immersion between Shimura varieties defined by morphisms of Shimura data extends to some closed immersion between their projective smooth toroidal compactifications, up to refining the choices of cone decompositions. We also explain that the same holds for many closed immersions between integral models of Shimura varieties and their toroidal compactifications available in the literature.
