How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Kalin Ivany is listed with the Bloomington, MN Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 2.4% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Ecuador (1,164 decided, 0.3% grant rate), Mexico (525 decided, 0.4% grant rate), and Nicaragua (383 decided, 1.8% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
