How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Sujata Rodgers is listed with the Port Isabel, TX Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 6.9% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Venezuela (67 decided, 1.5% grant rate), Mexico (65 decided, 16.9% grant rate), and Cuba (52 decided, 9.6% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
