Relief available to one who is physically present in the United States

Who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her country of nationality because of,
“past persecution” or a “well-founded fear of persecution” on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion,
or membership in a particular social group.

Or a reasonable possibility that you would be tortured in the country of removal.
