How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Thompson, Kenley is listed with the Houston South, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 2.5% 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 (566 decided, 1.2% grant rate), Guatemala (344 decided, 0.6% grant rate), and El Salvador (188 decided, 1.1% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
