How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Jorge L. Pereira is listed with the Krome, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 10.4% 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 (554 decided, 4.9% grant rate), Guatemala (374 decided, 3.2% grant rate), and Cuba (370 decided, 18.9% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
