How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Cassie A. Thogersen is listed with the Baton Rouge, LA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 2.1% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Mexico (667 decided, 0.4% grant rate), Honduras (576 decided, 0.2% grant rate), and Guatemala (310 decided, 1.3% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
