September 04, 2014
INTERACTIVE
This year, the U.S. Border Patrol saw an unprecedented number of minors—most of them from Central America—crossing the border alone. In an interactive map, Caitlin Dickson lays out the long, dangerous path many immigrants take through Mexico into America, involving thieves, cartels, street gangs, and extortion.
COUNTER-TERROR
The right-hand man of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was killed by an airstrike in Mosul, along with at least one other member of the group. But a Pentagon official tells Jake Siegel that rumors of Al-Baghdadi's death have "no validity."
FLIPPED OFF

Workers fed up with flipping burgers for what they consider peanuts launched a nationwide strike Thursday in a bid to have their wages doubled to $15 per hour and to be granted the right to form a union. Workers from McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, and KFC among others left their deep fryers to picket on the streets of New York, Detroit, and more than 100 cities across America. Many fast-food workers say they can't live on the minimum wage, which has been stuck on the federal level at $7.25 per hour since 2009. Their action includes civil disobedience as well as work stoppages. Police reportedly arrested about 20 workers at a McDonalds in New York City's Times Square, and several other workers were handcuffed in Detroit.
