Migrant influencer-turned-squatter ringleader deported after advocating taking over Americans’ homes

The Trump administration said “adios” to an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who garnered a massive online following by posting videos of him flashing stacks of cash and urging migrants to “invade” American homes and take them over under squatters’ rights laws.

Leonel Moreno, 26, told his audience he planned to make a business out of selling them for a profit.

“He has been deported,” the Trump administration announced Friday on its @RapidResponse47 X account.

“You’re hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand?” he said in one of his videos. “That’s the difference between you and me. I’m always going to make lots of money without much work, and you’re always going to be exploited and miserable and insignificant.”

TikTok eventually shut down his account, which had amassed about 500,000 followers. He continued to post videos on Facebook and Instagram until his arrest last year in Ohio.

ICE picked him up after his online profile exploded, but he spent months in custody under the Biden administration. Now, he is gone.

A federal judge ordered his removal in September, but the Venezuelan government refused to accept deportation flights under the Biden administration.

He had originally been released into the U.S. in 2022 under the border parole system after crossing into the country illegally near Eagle Pass, Texas.
