More Cubans than ever are leaving the island. See where they're going

YUMA, ARIZONA - DECEMBER 09: An immigrant family from Cuba waits to be transported to a U.S. Border Patrol processing center on December 09, 2021 in Yuma, Arizona. Women and children were eventually taken to the nearly full facility but many of the men had to sleep outside until the next day near the border fence. Yuma has seen a surge of migrant crossing in the last week, with many families trying to reach U.S. soil before the court-ordered re-implementation of the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy. The policy requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico for the duration of their U.S. immigration court process. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
