Immigration Judge IRP

Case Insights: Judge IRP

Immigration Judge IRP has issued 1,560 recorded decisions at the WLA in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 899 resulted in relief granted (57.6%), 10 were denied (0.6%), and 651 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (41.7%). That volume places Judge IRP among a substantial docket at the WLA.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 57.0 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 WLA itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge IRP's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for WLA lists all sitting judges and their recorded outcome rates, making side-by-side comparison of caseloads and grant percentages straightforward for researchers, attorneys, and respondents.
