The special envoy to Haiti stepped down on Thursday — blasting the Biden administration’s “inhumane” expulsions of Haitians from Del Rio, Texas.

In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, first reported by PBS, Daniel Foote said he was resigning immediately “with deep disappointment and apologies to those seeking crucial changes.”

“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 to daily life,” ​he wrote.
