Ndiaga Gueye petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming the immigration judge’s decision to deny his applications for asylum and withholding of removal under both the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and the Convention Against Torture (CAT). Gueye argues that the BIA erred in determining that he had not established past persecution based on his political affiliation, a well-founded fear of future persecution, or that it was more likely than not that he would be tortured if he were returned to Senegal. He contends that he established his eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal under both the INA and the CAT by adducing evidence concerning the likelihood that Senegalese officials will persecute him based on his *308 membership in the Movement for Democratic Forces in Casamance (MFDC).

The record evidence in the instant case does not compel a conclusion contrary to the BIA’s determination that Gueye was not entitled to asylum or withholding of removal under the INA. See Chun v. INS, 40 F.3d 76, 78-79 (5th Cir. 1994). The search of Gueye’s home is insufficient to establish past persecution. See Shehu v. Gonzales, 443 F.3d 435, 440 & n. 8 (5th Cir. 2006). The record evidence also fails to establish that Gueye has a reasonable fear of future persecution based on his MFDC membership. See Faddoul v. INS, 37 F.3d 185, 188 (5th Cir. 1994). To the contrary, Gueye has openly and safely returned to Senegal on two separate occasions. This fact alone undercuts his claim that he fears being persecuted if he is returned to Senegal. Gueye’s INA claims are unavailing.

Gueye’s CAT claim is likewise unavailing, as he has failed to show that he will likely be tortured if he is returned to Senegal. See Efe v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 899, 907 (5th Cir. 2002). Gueye’s petition for review is DENIED.
