The US special envoy for Haiti has resigned in protest over the deportation of Haitian migrants. The decision to return migrants fleeing an earthquake and political instability was "inhumane", senior diplomat Daniel Foote said in a letter. Last weekend, the US started deportation flights from a Texas border town where about 13,000 migrants had gathered under a bridge. We'll bring you the latest developments with our correspondent in the region.
