Daniel Foote, the US special envoy for Haiti, has handed in his resignation to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, saying he will "not be associated with the United States inhumane, counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees" from the US-Mexico border.
Not migrants, CNN. Refugees. They’re refugees. Use the right word, because it matters. There are different requirements under international law for how to deal with migrants vs refugees, and these are refugees. Call them what they are, which is refugees.
I try to keep a close eye on this language. Because I know in right-wing circles, they get all bent out of shape when you call anyone a refugee who isn't fleeing an active war zone (and conveniently there are no active war zones in this hemisphere at this moment I believe). It makes me think "the person writing this is almost surely a reactionary".
