Someone may as well go ahead and call a WAAmbulance for "influencer," squatter advocate, and illegal alien Leonel Moreno because after weeks of blasting his defiance of American immigration law and his support for squatting in and taking over American homes, after removing his ankle monitor, and after scamming the American taxpayers out of who knows how much money, he now finds he's on the run from Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). He wasted no time taking to social media to proclaim the unfairness of it all.
The Venezuelan TikToker who went viral last month after defending illegal immigrant criminals and urging migrants to squat in U.S. homes is now on the run from immigration authorities, according to a new report.
Leonel Moreno has claimed that his family, which includes his wife and young daughter, has received $350 a week in government handouts since entering the U.S. illegally.
On top of that, he had claimed to be making $1,000 a day as a TikTok influencer. However, his account, which at one point had more than 500,000 followers, appeared inactive Wednesday morning. His verified Instagram account, however, has about 17,000 followers and posted two videos Wednesday morning showing him waving a stack of $100 bills as he posed with his baby girl.
Moreno is on record providing a detailed account describing how illegal aliens in the United States can take advantage of some states' lax laws regarding squatters and advocating for his fellow illegals to take over homes. This is precisely the kind of guy who the word "deportation" was meant for.

This is a guy who has been evading ICE for some time now.
Moreno allegedly cut off his ankle monitor after receiving border parole and is now listed as an "absconder" from immigration authorities, the New York Post reported Wednesday, citing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents.
ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Moreno reportedly received border parole in April 2022 as part of the government's Alternatives to Detention program, which is supposed to track catch-and-release migrants when there is not enough room to detain them.
Moreno previously told his audience he planned to make a business out of "invading" abandoned houses and taking them over with squatters' rights laws, then selling them for a profit.
This is, clearly, a guy who needs to be kicked the hell out of the United States, with prejudice, and threatened with prison time should he show his annoying face north of the Mexican border ever again.
Now, Venezuela has announced earlier this month that they refuse to accept any deportees from the United States. While it's hard to blame them for not wanting the likes of Leonel Moreno back, it seems obvious that if ICE bought this guy a one-way ticket to Caracas and then made damn sure he was on the plane when it took off, that would solve the problem this guy poses — at least until he makes his way to our wide-open southern border again, in which case he'll be welcomed back with open arms by the Biden administration. But at least it's a start.
