Immigration judge Jeffrey Phillips

What these figures are, and what they are not

None of this measures how this judge decides. Represented and unrepresented applicants have very different outcomes and a judge’s mix of the two is not the judge’s doing; so is the share of their docket that is detained, and detention courts grant asylum at a fraction of the rate other courts do. EOIR publishes representation in a table this site has not loaded, and nothing here adjusts for either.

A grant rate is over decisions, not over applications. Applications that were abandoned, withdrawn, administratively closed, transferred or not adjudicated are counted separately below and are in neither side of the rate. Across EOIR’s whole file there are more of those than there are grants and denials together.

Proceedings, not people, and a case can carry several. The figures below count proceedings and asylum applications, which are both larger than the number of people involved. Pending is a snapshot as of September 1, 2026 and moves every month.

EOIR recorded 73 proceedings completed by immigration judge Jeffrey Phillips in FY2026, which is not over, according to the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

EOIR records Jeffrey Phillips as a serving immigration judge, code JPS, with 73 proceedings completed in FY2026, which is not over — more than in the finished fiscal years before it.

Cases, decisions and backlog

73
Proceedings completed, FY2026 so far: 54.8% decided in absentia; 1,788
Proceedings pending as of September 2026: Not ranked
Asylum grant rate: only 12 decided, under the 100 a rate needs here

This judge decided 12 asylum applications in the five fiscal years to 2026 — 2 granted and 10 denied. That is below the 100 this site needs before it will publish a rate, because at a hundred decisions the interval around one is already about nine points wide. A further 15 ended neither way.
