How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Patrick D. Barrett is listed with the Adelanto, CA Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 2.5% 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 (623 decided, 0.3% grant rate), Guatemala (109 decided, 0.9% grant rate), and El Salvador (73 decided, 2.7% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
