How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

David White is listed with the Falls Church, VA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 3.6% 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 (165 decided, 0.6% grant rate), Mexico (126 decided, 0.0% grant rate), and El Salvador (121 decided, 3.3% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
