White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday defended sending San Diego’s public school teachers to teach unaccompanied minors in person, while American students in the California city still entirely rely on remote learning.

Psaki was questioned during a White House press briefing whether she think it’s fair that children who entered the United States illegally are being provided with in-person instruction at the San Diego Convention Center, while some 130,000 American children within the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) remain blocked from classrooms.
