In the end, we must ask where the Hunters fit in this puzzle as they clearly have power, influence, and a voice in the world-stage to make a change. This is just a guess at this point but I've got a gut feeling that Ozpin's position as headmaster of Beacon gives him a certain degree of independent political power. If he makes a suggestion, then the authorities listen. It wouldn't surprise me if Cinder's current freedom of action may come from a degree of 'push back' from the politicians who don't want to be told what their national security priorities ought to be by a school-teacher.
