Daniel Foote, US special envoy to Haiti, resigns, citing the 'inhumane' US decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees from the US-Mexico border
Daniel Foote, the US special envoy for Haiti, has handed in his resignation to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, saying he will"not be associated with the United States inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees" from the US-Mexico border.
He adds that the US policy approach to Haiti remains"deeply flawed."The Biden administration is presently grappling with an influx of thousands of migrants, many of whom are Haitian, at the US-Mexico border in Del Rio, Texas. The administration has repeatedly vowed in public statements that the migrants will be turned away, drawing the ire of many Democrats and human rights groups who say it is inhumane to return the migrants because of Haiti's humanitarian crisis.
