How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Brea C. Burgie is listed with the Denver, CO Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 14.1% 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 (995 decided, 14.0% grant rate), Venezuela (748 decided, 5.7% grant rate), and Colombia (717 decided, 10.3% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
