How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Halperin, Ravit R. is listed with the Sacramento, CA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 3.7% 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 (852 decided, 0.1% grant rate), Nicaragua (381 decided, 11.8% grant rate), and Guatemala (319 decided, 0.6% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
