People who are granted withholding of removal are typically immigrants who face persecution in their home countries, like those who receive asylum. Batra, who is Sikh, left India after her parents were murdered during a state pogrom against Sikhs in the 1980s. Batra did apply for asylum but instead received withholding, which, unlike asylum, does not come with a path to a green card.
