My name is Cristian Sánchez. I’m a supervising attorney at RAICES, and I work to stop deportations of asylum seekers — including those who have faced horrific marginalization and exploitation as members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Taking on a case can save someone’s life and reunite them with the people they love most, and that is really important to me. At RAICES, we reunite families and protect people from persecution.
