How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge (fiscal years 2020–2026), the table highlights Mexico (188 decided, 38.8% grant rate), Guatemala (162 decided, 27.2% grant rate), and India (127 decided, 63.8% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
