FY2024 baseline: Oct 2023 – Sep 2024

FY2024 was the last full fiscal year before the January 2025 asylum-policy changes, so it is kept fixed as a before-and-after baseline rather than updated. More cases now close administratively, which shifts the merit-decision mix and is why the later figures are much lower.

Frequently asked questions

What is the asylum grant rate at the Dallas Immigration Court?

How many immigration judges work at the Dallas Immigration Court?

Based on the most recent FOIA-released EOIR data, 92 immigration judges are listed as actively sitting at the Dallas Immigration Court with asylum case volume in the last 24 months. The full judge roster, each with their individual grant rate, appears below.

How many asylum decisions has the Dallas Immigration Court issued total?

The Dallas Immigration Court has issued 35,480 recorded asylum decisions across the full FOIA-released dataset. This includes both grants and denials but excludes administrative outcomes (cases dismissed, terminated, or closed without a merits ruling).

How is the asylum grant rate calculated?

Grant rate = (cases with case_outcome of "Relief Granted") divided by (cases with case_outcome of "Relief Granted" or "Remove"). Cases closed administratively - dismissed, terminated, voluntary departure - are excluded from the denominator. This is the standard methodology used by TRAC Immigration (Syracuse) and the Deportation Data Project (UC Berkeley).
