Ambassador Daniel Foote, the special envoy for Haiti, resigned Wednesday over the Biden administration’s “inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees,” according to a letter obtained by PBS News.
The Biden administration appointed the career member of the Senior Foreign Service in July after Haitian President Jovenel Moise was assassinated. President Joe Biden is facing criticism from all sides over his handling of the current border crisis.
“I will not be associated with the United States inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees and illegal immigrants to Haiti, a country where American officials are confined to secure compounds because of the danger posed by armed gangs in control of daily life,” Foote wrote in his resignation letter, which was addressed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“Our policy approach to Haiti remains deeply flawed, and my recommendations have been ignored and dismissed, when not edited to project a narrative different from my own,” Foote added.
