"HH" is the anonymized judge code DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) assigns in its public case-data release, not a verified public identity. 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.

Case Insights: Judge HH
Immigration Judge HH decided 702 asylum cases on the merits at the Santa Ana Immigration Court between FY2015 and FY2025. Of those, 396 were granted (56.4%) and 306 were denied (43.6%). That volume places Judge HH among a moderate docket at the Santa Ana Immigration Court.
The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 12.8 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 Santa Ana Immigration Court itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge HH's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for Santa Ana 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.
