Immigration Judge Who Grants The Most Cases NYC

IJ Chew 7.1% denial rates and IJ McManus with a 7.4% denial rate on asylum cases.

Surprising to me, is that IJ Bukszpan (now retired) has the third lowest asylum denials rate in New York with 10%. I only had decide one case in its merits prior to her retirement so I have no reason to be surprised.
