How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Nina M. Carbone is listed with the Denver, CO Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 10.0% 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 (1,017 decided, 6.2% grant rate), Venezuela (924 decided, 5.6% grant rate), and Colombia (721 decided, 1.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
