Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (1,341 decided, 0.7% grant rate), Mexico (622 decided, 2.3% grant rate), and El Salvador (375 decided, 1.6% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
