How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Jonathan Reingold is listed with the New York City, NY Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 14.5% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Ecuador (542 decided, 2.6% grant rate), China (209 decided, 46.9% grant rate), and Venezuela (194 decided, 6.2% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
