Methodology and sources

These are proceeding outcomes, not asylum application statistics. Completion years use EOIR COMP_DATE; 2026 contains partial-year data. Relief granted, denied / removal ordered and other / procedural exhaust the recorded outcomes. Groups of one are included. Historical outcomes do not establish a current assignment. Counts describe recorded cases and do not predict an individual's result.

Precomputed from exact TRAC aggregate counts; asylum granted + other relief granted = any relief granted, and outcomes sum to N. FY2026 is year-to-date through the published source cutoff. No values are interpolated. TRAC aggregate source · retrieved 2026-08-30. Methodology.

These figures cover completed asylum decisions in TRAC's published data, not all immigration-court matters. Outcomes may reflect case mix, representation, nationality, detention status, policy, and other factors; they are not a judge quality score. Read the methodology.
