Immigration Judge KD1

Case Insights: Judge KD1

Immigration Judge KD1 has issued 708 recorded decisions at the ANN in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 474 resulted in relief granted (66.9%), 24 were denied (3.4%), and 210 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (29.7%). That volume places Judge KD1 among a moderate docket at the ANN.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 63.5 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as grant-leaning 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 ANN itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge KD1's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for ANN 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.
