How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

D'Anna H. Freeman is listed with the Fort Worth, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 11.7% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (321 decided, 11.2% grant rate), Honduras (213 decided, 2.8% grant rate), and Guatemala (148 decided, 1.4% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
