Airlines Refuse to Transport Separated Migrant Children
-------------------------------------------------------

American Airlines and United Airlines have asked the Trump
administration to stop transporting immigrant children who have been
separated from their families aboard their company's planes. American
Airlines said in a statement, "We have no desire to be associated with
separating families, or worse, to profit from it." And United Airlines
CEO Oscar Munoz said, "Our company's shared purpose is to connect people
and unite the world. This policy and its impact on thousands of children
is in deep conflict with that mission and we want no part of it."
