I've not heard of us doing that for other crises, I wonder if it's legit? I would expect our tax dollars to actually fund that kind of intervention to protect our citizens, the idea that they might be sent to collections bothers me.

From what I've seen it is true and US airlines aren't sending in planes (although this may be changing). 1 report I saw was a plane went in and got any airline employees out and then sold whatever seats were left on the night it started. That was for all airlines.

Other report or 2 that flights to UAE are available and then you can immediately go to the US ... although you may need to thank Trump.

What I don't know is the citizenship status of these people being charged. The US allows dual citizenship and there are way too many people with that. If you have dual citizenship and you don't live in the US, I'd tell them they go to the back of the line and have to pay.
