Exclusive | 'Migrant influencer' who urged other illegals to squat in US homes deported to Venezuela
Briefly

Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant notorious for his controversial TikTok videos that encouraged illegal immigration and squatting in U.S. homes, has been deported back to Venezuela. His deportation, ordered after multiple check-in failures with ICE, follows a renewed deportation campaign by President Trump, who resumed flights to Venezuela. While on the deportation flight, Moreno created disturbances, causing tensions among passengers. Despite his controversial activities in the U.S., Venezuelan officials welcomed him back, highlighting the complex dynamics of U.S.-Venezuela relations.
The brazen 'migrant influencer' who infamously flashed around wads of US government cash handouts and encouraged other illegal border crossers to squat in American homes has finally been deported back to Venezuela after causing uproar on the flight back.
Moreno crossed the Texas border illegally in April 2022 and was quickly released into the US. ... led the feds to arrest him in Gahanna, Ohio, in March 2024.
After he stepped off the deportation flight, he flashed a thumbs up and received a pat on the shoulder from a security official escorting him off the plane.
Once President Trump returned to the White House and commenced his mass deportation campaign, Venezuela began allowing the US deportation flights to land again.
