Ironwood: By this time next week, the Kingdom of Atlas will be officially closing its borders. No one in; no one out. Without the council's permission.

Cordo however wasn't following those wishes:

Cordovin: If Miss Schnee has truly come to her senses and wishes to return to her family, then, of course, the Atlas military will escort her home. But the kingdom will not be responsible for her "friends" of... questionable character....

No it's not, read that again;

1. "NO-ONE IN; NO-ONE OUT, without permission..." This means that a military transport needs to enter Atlas airspace to relay the message, wait for a response, then fly back, or that RWBY would need to wait for the set "report in" transport to get that message to Atlas... before they can even think about gaining entry.

2. "...wishes to return to her family, then, of course, the Atlas military will escort her home. But the kingdom will not be responsible for..." This is showing Cordo is willing to get Weiss onto said transport to ask permission to return herself, it says nothing about promising her entry into Atlas itself, rather her willingness to escort her home(which might not even be in Atlas proper).

This is something you'll find is commonplace among any embassy, they others have nothing to give her as proof they need entry, so she has nothing to give the council, but she feels confident they'll allow Weiss to return as her father is literally ON said council, what are they gonna do, say "fuck off"?

It's like how the American embassy left many native wives, kids, etc in the end days of the Vietnam war, but took all the citizens it could out.
