How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Kyle V. Mitchell is listed with the Jena, LA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 14.1% 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 (21 decided, 33.3% grant rate), Honduras (19 decided, 10.5% grant rate), and Guatemala (16 decided, 12.5% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
