How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Robert Driscoll is listed with the Indianapolis, IN Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 4.3% 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 (254 decided, 0.4% grant rate), Nicaragua (134 decided, 3.0% grant rate), and Honduras (112 decided, 0.0% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
