How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Alexander Lee is listed with the Houston Greenspoint, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 3.3% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (1,387 decided, 1.2% grant rate), Mexico (457 decided, 2.2% grant rate), and Guatemala (394 decided, 0.0% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
