U.S. grants asylum to gay Cuban

Christopher Nugent - Washington

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. Because Mr. Hernandez is HIV positive, the case was stalled due to difficulties related to a ban prohibiting HIV-positive visitors and immigrants from entering the country.
