“In the US, when a foreign national lands without proper documentation, legislation makes it the responsibility of the airline concerned to return the transgressor on the next available flight.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence contains no information regarding US legislation or airline responsibilities for returning undocumented foreign nationals. One result is a flight booking page, one is about a specific deportation flight (which does not explain the legal requirement for airlines to return individuals), and one is about a flight returning to Honolulu due to a security threat. None of the sources address the legal claim.
