How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Tara Naselow-Nahas is listed with the Dallas, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 6.7% 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 (1,396 decided, 4.9% grant rate), Honduras (1,391 decided, 0.2% grant rate), and Guatemala (1,071 decided, 0.5% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
