Asylum

Asylum is a claim of a reasonable fear of persecution on account of race, social group, religion, nationality, or political views if the applicant is returned to his home country. 

A person who has been persecuted or has a well-founded fear of being persecuted in his or her home country on account of race, social group, religion, nationality, or political views may qualify for refugee or asylum status.  A person who can prove that it is more likely than not that they will be persecuted if returned to their home country may qualfy for withholding of removal.
