How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Monte G. Miller is listed with the Bloomington, MN Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 3.9% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Ecuador (1,498 decided, 0.1% grant rate), Nicaragua (1,046 decided, 0.5% grant rate), and Guatemala (958 decided, 0.6% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
