How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Stuart A. Siegel is listed with the Krome, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 5.8% 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 (444 decided, 2.7% grant rate), Guatemala (423 decided, 0.9% grant rate), and Colombia (217 decided, 9.2% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
