It found that between fiscal year 2011 and 2016, Immigration Court Judge Mirlande Tadal--who worked for Travelers Aid Immigration Legal Services in New York and was a former attorney investigator for the New York Commission on Human Rights before her appointment as an immigration judge by former Attorney General Janet Reno in 1995--granted 27.8 percent of all asylum claims. The TRAC analysis found Judge Dorothy Harbeck, a former state Superior Court arbitrator who was appointed as an immigration judge in September 2006, granted 55.2 percent of asylum claims.
