I’m Rick Jervis, a national correspondent for USA TODAY, covering the border. AMA! Posted: 03 Jul 2018 07:34 AM PDT Hi everyone! I'm the Austin-based National Correspondent for USA TODAY, covering Texas, the border, immigration, weather events, breaking news and occasionally Latin America and Mexico. I began at USA TODAY in 2007 as the Baghdad Bureau Chief and covered the war in Iraq for two years. Later I moved to New Orleans, where I covered post-Katrina recovery, the BP oil spill and several Gulf Coast hurricanes. I came to Austin in 2013 and have been covering the border and immigration, as well as the gun control debate and Hurricane Harvey's impact on South Texas. I was also in Puerto Rico for Hurricane Maria landfall and covered the Santa Fe Texas school shooting. Lately, I've been covering how recent U.S. policy changes impact border life, including separation of families on the border. Other recent bylines: Proof That's all from me for today. Thank you for your questions. We will continue following this topic on our website -- usatoday.com submitted by /u/usatoday [link] [comments] |
