How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Ashworth, Sherron is listed with the Oakdale, LA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 1.6% 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 (554 decided, 0.9% grant rate), Guatemala (258 decided, 0.8% grant rate), and Honduras (221 decided, 0.9% 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 Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
