A top U.S. diplomat appointed as the special envoy to Haiti has resigned after less than two months over the Biden administration’s “inhumane” decision to deport thousands of Haitians who entered the United States illegally back to their home country.

In his resignation letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Ambassador Daniel Foote cited the administration’s “inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees.”
