How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Natalie Huddleston is listed with the Florence, AZ Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 10.9% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (980 decided, 5.3% grant rate), Guatemala (259 decided, 5.0% grant rate), and El Salvador (115 decided, 8.7% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
