He also served as a law clerk for the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, Children’s Division, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing legal services to unaccompanied minors and other refugees. In this role, he closely collaborated with Indigenous Guatemalan children in the areas of Asylum and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.
From 2017 to 2018, Danny took on the role of Student Director of the LDS Immigration Initiative, a joint project between ASU Law and the Welfare Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In this capacity, he provided hands-on experience to law students, assisting the immigrant community with intake consultations at locations in Mesa and Phoenix, AZ.
