How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Andrew J. Caborn is listed with the Bloomington, MN Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 11.1% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Guatemala (724 decided, 12.7% grant rate), Mexico (506 decided, 10.9% grant rate), and Honduras (398 decided, 2.3% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
