How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Sanon, Chevone Teranza. is listed with the New York Broadway, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 9.7% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Ecuador (324 decided, 0.9% grant rate), Dominican Republic (148 decided, 0.0% grant rate), and Venezuela (97 decided, 8.2% 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 Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
