United Air, Delta donate flights for reunited immigrant families

Delta Air Lines and United Continental are offering free flights for immigrant families detained and separated under president Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance” crackdown on illegal border crossings. The airlines are providing vouchers for one-way domestic service so that parents and children that have been released can travel to sponsors or relatives in the US. A federal court ordered the govt to reunite the families by July 26. After that, the families are responsible for any transportation costs. United, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines asked the federal govt last month not to use their aircraft to transport children that were being separated from their parents. <br/>
