Using data from the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), the department of justice agency that interprets and administers federal immigration laws, the Guardian analyzed cases where immigration judges could either grant or deny asylum, excluding cases that were withdrawn or otherwise concluded before a judge could reach a final decision. On average, judges granted 38% of asylum applications, the analysis showed. Some judges, like Segovia, granted asylum in less than 5 or 10%.
An earlier analysis by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse found two judges who denied 100% of cases they heard between 2019 and 2024.
