Immigration Judge TMO

Case Insights: Judge TMO

Immigration Judge TMO has issued 2,361 recorded decisions at the TUC in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 927 resulted in relief granted (39.3%), 23 were denied (1.0%), and 1,411 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (59.8%). That volume places Judge TMO among a substantial docket at the TUC.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 38.3 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as denial-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 TUC itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge TMO's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for TUC 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.
