How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Allan John-Baptiste is listed with the Fort Worth, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 7.4% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (410 decided, 1.0% grant rate), Mexico (378 decided, 6.1% grant rate), and Guatemala (301 decided, 0.7% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
