Over 700,000 Cubans have entered the U.S. since 2022, with 368 dying or disappearing at sea.

Since 2020, 368 Cubans have died or disappeared trying to cross the Caribbean to the US, fleeing Cuba's economic crisis. The International Organization for Migration reports at least 1,100 Central and South American migrants have also disappeared on this route. Despite risks, over 700,000 Cubans entered the US legally or illegally from January 2022 to August 2024, with illegal sea crossings being a dangerous fallback for those without US sponsors.
