How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Iman Ghasri is listed with the Santa Ana, CA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 8.3% 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 (781 decided, 3.1% grant rate), Colombia (387 decided, 3.6% grant rate), and Guatemala (267 decided, 1.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
