How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Alicia Brooks is listed with the Charlotte, NC Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 9.4% 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 (813 decided, 3.3% grant rate), Guatemala (467 decided, 0.9% grant rate), and Honduras (326 decided, 1.5% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
