Appellate Litigation Clinic participant and third-year student Noah C. Nix recently presented oral argument before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Santiaguez v. Garland. The clinic's client is a gay transgender rights advocate from the state of Guerrero, Mexico, who seeks deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture to prevent being sent back to his home country, where his brother was recently killed due to his sexual orientation.
