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

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).
