How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Peal, Tiesha is listed with the New York City, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 8.6% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Ecuador (902 decided, 1.6% grant rate), Venezuela (334 decided, 3.0% grant rate), and Colombia (260 decided, 0.4% 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 Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.

This page is based on public EOIR data last updated 2026-05-08. It is for research and information only, not legal advice.
