EOIR does not publish immigration judges' full names in this dataset, so this code should not be read as confirming, or attributing these statistics to, any specific named individual. See our methodology for detail.

Case Insights: Judge GWR

Immigration Judge GWR decided 175 asylum cases on the merits at the Miami Immigration Court between FY2015 and FY2025. Of those, 75 were granted (42.9%) and 100 were denied (57.1%). That volume places Judge GWR among a lighter caseload at the Miami Immigration Court.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is -14.2 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as roughly balanced relative to national EOIR norms. Because every case before an immigration judge depends on nationality, relief type, representation status, and country conditions, these aggregate rates are not a predictor of any single future decision. TRAC Immigration and DOJ EOIR both caution readers to interpret judge-level rates as descriptive rather than prescriptive statistics.

The Miami Immigration Court itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge GWR's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for Miami Immigration Court lists all sitting judges and their asylum grant rates, making side-by-side comparison of decision volumes and grant percentages straightforward for researchers, attorneys, and respondents.
