The US special envoy for Haiti has resigned over what he has called the inhumane treatment of Haitian migrants by the US government.
In a letter, Ambassador Daniel Foote said the US policy to deport thousands of Haitian asylum seekers and refugees was "counterproductive" and deeply flawed.
The Biden administration has continued to use a Trump-era policy to justify mass deportations back to Haiti and has increased the pace of the deportations.
Al Jazeera footage showing the mistreatment of migrants along the US border caused outrage earlier this week.
