Mostly Wasted Effort at Prosecutorial Discretion in Immigration Court -- will the second attempt fare any better?

Talk about disappointing -- TRAC has posted the most recent information about the percentage of low priority cases that qualified for prosecutorial discretion. Take a guess, one in ten, one out of every twenty? Very few jurisdictions hit a rate of 5-10%; most are like Boston (my local area) with a rate of less than 1%.
