Ambassador Daniel Foote submitted a letter on Wednesday to Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying he\u2019s resigning from the position, effective immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Foote said he would not be associated with the U.S.\u2019s \u201cinhumane counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees.\u201d He added the U.S. policy approach to Haiti is deeply flawed and his recommendations have been ignored and dismissed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SCOOP: Special Envoy for Haiti, Amb Daniel Foote, a career member of foreign service, has RESIGNED.

Despite Foote\u2019s reasoning regarding his departure, the White House has maintained he never sounded the alarm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial Envoy Foote had ample opportunity to raise concerns about migration during his tenure, he never once did so. Now, that wasn\u2019t his purview,\u201d expressed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. \u201cHis purview was, of course, being the special envoy on the ground. His positions were, and his views were put forward. They were valued. They were heard. Different policy decisions were made in some circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Biden administration has continued to take heat for the crisis at the southern border.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rep-mccarthy-discusses-southern-border-crisis-and-democrats-spending-plan\/\">Rep.
