Joe Biden's 2021 migration crisis helped to create a Haitian national crisis during his 2024 reelection campaign, his former special envoy for Haiti said.
The prime minister of Haiti, Ariel Henry, announced on Monday night that he would resign "immediately" after the creation of a "Presidential Transitional Council" meant to take steps towards organizing a presidential election.
The Haitian government declared a state of emergency on Sunday following days of street battles, two dangerous prison breaks, and an open declaration of insurrection by gang leader Jimmy βBarbecueβ Cherizier.
