According to government data collected by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), the judges who were fired on Dec. 1 were more likely to grant asylum. On average, they granted asylum 85.5% of the time — a rate more than 20 percent points higher than New York’s average prior to Trump taking office.
