I wonder what would happen in these scenarios if Fresno happened to be your final destination and you demanded to get off in Fresno. I presume they would now allow you but then they cannot keep you prisoner?
I've been on two diversions, on on AA and one on UA, over the last ten years where the airports we were sent to were the final destinations for some of the pax. In neither case were they allowed to deplane despite demanding to do so. In both of these cases nobody was allowed to deplane.

However, I have heard of passengers being allowed to stay if everyone had to deplane.
