U.S. grants asylum to gay Cuban
June 1, 2009
Community Services Team attorney Christopher Nugent was featured in the Washington Blade article titled, "U.S. grants asylum to gay Cuban" published on June 1, 2009. The article chronicles Raul Hernandez's decade-long journey to be granted asylum in the United States.
