I'm not trying to make this political in the general forum. But the New York Times is reporting that kids are still being flown tonight by AA.

Indeed, it seemed that children continued to arrive hours after the order was signed. Just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday, seven boys were escorted through the security gate at La Guardia after arriving on an American Airlines flight from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
So this seems to me to be more of a request than anything else.
