Four major airlines are saying no to Donald Trump's policy that separates migrant children from their parents at the border:

American, Frontier, Southwest and United airlines are refusing to fly immigrant children separated from their parents for the federal government, the latest resistance to the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy for undocumented border crossings.

All four airlines said they had no evidence that they have transported children under the policy yet. But they each said the policy runs counter to their corporate goals of connecting people.

    than only international flights, I thonk, Jeralyn.

    The linked syory, for example, as well as other reportage that I have read, cites domestic flights (such as Arizona to Florida, in the linked story.), some transporting children thousands of mikes from the southern border to shelters almost at the northern border in New York, Michigan, and other farglng states.

    Yes, (none / 0) (#2)

    it has to be domestic too because Cuomo says he has children in jail in NY State and they had to be flown there.
