How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Maithe Gonzalez is listed with the Miami, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 2.3% 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 (559 decided, 1.1% grant rate), Guatemala (386 decided, 0.0% grant rate), and Honduras (303 decided, 1.7% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.

Grant rate is calculated as granted / (granted + denied). Other procedural outcomes, including terminated, withdrawn, administratively closed, or removed cases, are tracked separately where available and are not treated as asylum grants.
