How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Audra R. Behne is listed with the West Los Angeles, CA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 11.3% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Guatemala (1,081 decided, 3.0% grant rate), Mexico (537 decided, 16.6% grant rate), and El Salvador (481 decided, 7.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
