How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Alison R. Kane is listed with the Denver, CO Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 15.8% 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 (1,184 decided, 21.2% grant rate), Honduras (676 decided, 4.6% grant rate), and Colombia (651 decided, 8.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
