More than 230,000 Cubans and Haitians have attempted to reach the U.S this year, by both land and sea, to seek asylum, the highest total in decades. Image
U.S. Border Patrol agents have encountered more than 175,000 Cubans at the U.S.-Mexico border – more than the 125,000 Cubans who arrived in the U.S. during the 1980 Mariel boatlift. Cubans are fleeing economic turmoil, soaring inflation and more blackouts across the island.
Haitians are taking dangerous trips on boats to flee violent gangs and political instability in their country. The Coast Guard has intercepted 7,174 Haitians at sea this fiscal year – a 370% jump from last year. Image

No fear of hurricanes, beautiful views, perfect weather — that's the promise of coastal living in California. Cliffs cover most of the state's coastline, giving the most desirable locations an expansive, panoramic view of the ocean. TEXT: A quote from Carla Fa...

USA TODAY is celebrating our 40th anniversary! What became apparent as we flipped through 480 months of news since the first edition in 1982, was how often USA TODAY made a difference, writes former executive editor David Colton.
For example, in 1998, our investigation on how dangerous air bags were to children helped lead to the warning stickers on car windshield visors. And in 2018, we won the Pulitzer for an interactive examination of every mile of President Trump’s proposed wall.
As part of the commemoration, we've republished many of these significant moments from the archives. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
