Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Border patrol will no longer use horses in Del Rio, says Psaki” – below is their description.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki informed reporters on Wednesday that border patrol officers in Del Rio would no longer use horses after images emerged that appeared to show guards chasing down migrants using whips.

Psaki also commented on US special envoy to Haiti Daniel Foote’s resignation. Foote, who criticised inhumane treatment of Haitian migrants at the border, ‘had ample opportunity to raise concerns about migration during his tenure’, Psaki said.

In This Story: Haiti

Haiti is a Caribbean country that shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic to its east. Though it’s still recovering from a 2010 earthquake, many of Haiti’s landmarks dating to the early 19th century remain intact. These include Citadelle la Ferrière, a mountaintop fortress.

Jean-Jacques Dessalines (later Emperor Jacques I), defeated Napoleon Bonaparte’s forces and declared Haiti’s sovereignty on 1 January 1804.

Haiti became the only state in history established by a successful slave revolt. Apart from Alexandre Pétion, the first President of the Republic, all of Haiti’s first leaders were former slaves.
