How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Jason L. Stern is listed with the Houston Greenspoint, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 1.2% 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 (815 decided, 0.4% grant rate), Honduras (786 decided, 0.3% grant rate), and Venezuela (616 decided, 1.6% grant rate).
