White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki pushed back when NBC News’ Kristen Welker grilled her about a Newsweek report that Ukrainian refugees are being held in detention centers at the southern border.

Earlier this week, Newsweek reported that Ukrainians seeking asylum at the U.S./Mexico border are being detained under Title 42. Jennifer Scarborough, an immigration attorney assisting refugees, was quoted as saying “Biden said they’d be welcomed with open arms. That’s not happening.”
