JUST IN: American Airlines has requested that the US federal government "immediately refrain from using American for the purpose of transporting children who have been separated from their families due to the current immigration policy."
United Airlines: "We have contacted federal officials to inform them that they should not transport immigrant children on United aircraft who have been separated from their parents ... We want no part of it."
Frontier Airlines: "We will not knowingly allow our flights to be used to transport migrant children away from their families."
A DHS spokesperson says it's "unfortunate" that United, American and Frontier airlines have asked the US government not to transport migrant children separated from their families on their flights, and accuses the airlines of "buckling to a false media narrative."
Delta Air Lines statement on family separations:

"Recent reports of families being separated are disheartening and do not align with Delta’s core values."
