US envoy to Haiti resigns, blasts returning migrants to 'collapsed state'

Описание

The US special envoy to Haiti resigned in protest in a letter that blasted the Biden administration for deporting hundreds of migrants back to the crisis-engulfed Caribbean nation from a camp on the US-Mexican border in recent days. Daniel Foote, a career diplomat named to his post in July, said the collapsed state was unable to support the infusion of returning migrants. I will not be associated with the United States' inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants, Foote said in a letter addressed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken that circulated publicly on Thursday. Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, has been hit in recent weeks by a presidential assassination, gang violence and a major earthquake. -Reuters -
