In Las Vegas, it is now plausible for a person with a strong case to hope to win asylum. That's new. Here's what I wrote about applying for asylum in Las Vegas in my book, THE BATTLE TO STAY IN AMERICA. I wrote this in 2019. 2/
Now, the two judges with 95+% denial rates (Sharda and Romig) have both left Las Vegas, and 3 of the 4 with the highest denial rates have left. BUT the Las Vegas Immigration Court is hardly a haven for refugees. (See next tweet.) 3/
The Las Vegas Immigration Judge with the lowest denial rate (Baker) would be average nationally. Overall, Las Vegas Immigration Judges still deny asylum above the national rate.
(Marginal differences between the judges can be the result of smallish sample sizes, also.) 4/end
