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.
