How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Rebecca Niburg is listed with the Hyattsville, MD Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 22.9% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights El Salvador (432 decided, 22.9% grant rate), Guatemala (305 decided, 9.5% grant rate), and Honduras (291 decided, 11.7% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
