Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (1,266 decided, 11.9% grant rate), Cuba (431 decided, 71.9% grant rate), and Guatemala (285 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.
