How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Stuart A. Siegel is listed with the Krome, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 5.7% 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 (460 decided, 2.6% grant rate), Guatemala (433 decided, 0.9% grant rate), and Cuba (220 decided, 6.4% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
