The Biden administration’s special envoy to Haiti has resigned, protesting about “inhumane” large-scale expulsions of Haitian migrants to their homeland wracked by civil strife and natural disaster, US officials have said.

Daniel Foote was appointed to the position only in July, following the assassination of Haiti’s president.
