How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Andrew Hewitt is listed with the Atlanta, GA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 1.5% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (502 decided, 0.8% grant rate), Guatemala (466 decided, 0.6% grant rate), and Venezuela (308 decided, 1.0% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
