How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Elvin Talavera-Peraza is listed with the Orlando, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 6.1% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Venezuela (386 decided, 7.5% grant rate), Colombia (294 decided, 1.7% grant rate), and Dominican Republic (292 decided, 12.3% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
