Immigration judge June Lee

EOIR records June Lee as a serving immigration judge, code JEL, with 2,469 proceedings completed in the five fiscal years to 2025. Of the 438 asylum applications this judge decided in FY2024–2025, 124 were granted (28.3%) and 314 denied.

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 Applications that were abandoned, withdrawn, administratively closed, transferred or not adjudicated are counted separately below and are in neither side of the rate.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.

Cases, decisions and backlog

2,469
Proceedings completed, FY2021–2025: 21.1% decided in absentia; 1,397
Proceedings pending as of September 2026: 28.3%
Asylum grant rate, FY2024–2025: 124 granted of 438 decided

Context, over the same fiscal years (FY2024–2025)

Every immigration court in the country: 31.3% granted; 66,847 of 213,694 asylum applications decided
The Hyattsville, MD court, where EOIR records this judge completing the most proceedings: 38.5% granted; 2,561 of 6,658 asylum applications decided

For the reader to weigh, not a measure of this judge: everything in the box above applies to these rates as well, and a court’s docket is not any one judge’s.

Over the 2 fiscal years from 2024 to 2025, this judge granted 124 asylum applications and denied 314 — 28.3% of those decided. A further 302 ended neither way and are in neither figure.

Complete fiscal years only. A proceeding is counted in the year it completed, which is not the year it was recorded, so this table is not a record of what arrived.
