How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Gary L. Bergosh is listed with the New Orleans, LA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 2.9% 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 (172 decided, 0.6% grant rate), Venezuela (116 decided, 1.7% grant rate), and Mexico (89 decided, 5.6% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
