Three immigration judges in Sacramento were fired last year as part of mass firings that seemingly targeted judges with low rates of asylum claim denials. One of them had a denial rate of less than 5% of claims, which was far below the national average of roughly 60%.
Data from Transaction Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC, shows that judges in Sacramento now have denial rates that range from 15% to 89%. That potentially gives Valladares a greater chance of staying in the U.S. than if her case were heard in Atlanta, where denial rates from judges range from 56% to 98%.
