How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Kenya Wells is listed with the Houston Greenspoint, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 1.3% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (1,287 decided, 0.2% grant rate), Mexico (761 decided, 0.8% grant rate), and Venezuela (449 decided, 2.0% grant rate).
