How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

James Crofts is listed with the Stewart, GA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 0.4% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Guatemala (1,017 decided, 0.0% grant rate), Mexico (785 decided, 0.6% grant rate), and Honduras (466 decided, 0.2% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
