How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Siebert, Andrea is listed with the North Los Angeles, CA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 27.5% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights China (189 decided, 65.1% grant rate), Guatemala (140 decided, 10.0% grant rate), and Nicaragua (136 decided, 18.4% 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 Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.

This page is based on public EOIR data last updated 2026-05-08. It is for research and information only, not legal advice.
