US envoy to Haiti resigns, slams migrant deportationsHaitian migrants cross the Rio Grande river from Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, to the United States. PORT-AU-PRINCE - The US special envoy to Haiti resigned Thursday two months after his appointment, denouncing the Biden administration's deportation of Haitian migrants from the US-Mexico border back to their poverty-stricken homeland. - Deportation fears -The resignation came after the Biden administration had already flown 1,400 Haitians back to Haiti on 12 flights. Many Haitian migrants are still in Ciudad Acuna, where they also risk being deported. Blinken said the underlying problem was Haitians falsely believing they can stay in the United States due to protections announced by Biden which only apply to those already in the United States.
