U.S. officials said Thursday that the Washington-Biden administration’s special envoy to Haiti resigned and protested the “inhumane” large-scale expulsion of Haiti immigrants from civil war and natural disasters to their hometowns.

Daniel Harrington was appointed to that position only in July after the assassination of the President of Haiti. Even before the expulsion of immigrants from the small Texas border town of Del Rio, career diplomats were deeply dissatisfied with the lack of urgency in Washington and the ice age pace of efforts to improve the situation in Haiti. Was known.

Foot wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken that he immediately resigned “with deep disappointment and apology to those seeking significant change.”

“I have nothing to do with the US inhumane and unproductive decision to deport thousands of Haiti refugees and illegal immigrants to Haiti.” I wrote in our policy approach to Haiti. My policy proposal was ignored and rejected if it had a major flaw and was not edited to project a story different from mine. “

Two U.S. officials, who were directly aware of the issue, confirmed their resignation on condition of anonymity because they did not have the authority to discuss it publicly.

Hoot has consistently called for greater oversight of Haiti’s policies, and the administration says his demands are appropriate, one official who spoke on condition of anonymity without the authority to publicly discuss personnel issues. He said he didn’t believe it.

Foot’s sudden withdrawal leaves a gap in US policy towards Haiti, adding another prominent and critical voice to the government’s response to Haiti camping on the Texas border. The camp has shrunk considerably since it exceeded more than 14,000 on Saturday – many of them were banished and many were released in the United States with a notice to report to the Immigration Bureau.

The White House faces sharp bipartisan accusations. Democrats and many immigrant support groups have breached American principles in their efforts to expel thousands of Haitians without the opportunity to seek asylum, and their anger has turned horses using aggressive tactics against immigrants. He says he was fueled by an image of a border guard agent on board that became a virus this week.

Haiti officials said expulsion flights to Haiti began on Sunday and had 10 flights by the end of Tuesday. US officials say the number has increased to seven flights a day. This will be one of the fastest and largest expulsions from the United States in decades.

Foot was formerly Deputy Chief of Mission in Haiti and a former ambassador to Zambia. In his new position, he worked with the US Ambassador to assist Haiti after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.
