What it returns
Asylum and other relief decisions, and case outcomes, in US immigration courts, from the Executive Office for Immigration Review's monthly case data release. Counted by fiscal year, court, immigration judge, nationality and case type, with grant rates.
Two datasets. applications: decided relief applications (asylum, withholding of removal, Convention Against Torture, cancellation of removal and others) with outcomes such as granted, denied, abandoned or withdrawn; each row carries granted and denied counts and a grant rate when outcome is not a grouping. decisions: completed proceedings by decision (removed, terminated, relief granted, voluntary departure...), in absentia orders and custody status.
Choose how to group (by judge, court, nationality, year, case type, outcome...) and filter by judge, court city or state, nationality, case type, application, outcome and fiscal year range.
Source: EOIR Case Data (FOIA release), rebuilt monthly. About 13.4 million completed proceedings and 10.3 million decided applications since fiscal year 1991. Respondents are never identified: only counts are published. Judges are named as public officials. Fiscal years start on 1 October.
Charged per grouped row returned.
