The Probability of Success in an Asylum Application

The success rate in an immigration court for asylum seekers is about 52 or 53% get denied, about 47 to 48% are granted asylum. The denial rate was as high as 70% during the Trump administration. People are much more successful in New York City than say Houston or Atlanta, Georgia. But one of the really important factors here is a lot of people who can't get an attorney, it's very unlikely that they will even be able to file an asylum application in the first place.
