How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Christine Reis is listed with the Miami, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 6.2% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Guatemala (476 decided, 5.0% grant rate), Colombia (449 decided, 9.4% grant rate), and Honduras (431 decided, 7.2% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
