How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Bartleson, Thomas is listed with the New York Broadway, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 27.2% 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 (360 decided, 2.2% grant rate), Guatemala (192 decided, 7.8% grant rate), and Dominican Republic (190 decided, 2.1% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
