‘Migrant influencer’ Leonel Moreno deported to Venezuela

The brave “immigrant influencers” who flashed infamously around US government cache handouts and encouraged other illegal border crossings to crouch in American homes have finally been deported to Venezuela.

Leonel Moreno, who encouraged illegal immigrants to “invade abandoned homes” with sick Tictox after President Trump resumed deportation flights to the country, was sent back to Narco this week.

Diosdado Cabello, Minister of Internal, Justice and Peace in Venezuela, said Moreno was “welcome,” but the free road immigration caused flight disruption and unsettling fellow passengers.

The Firebrand Tiktokker had to be placed in his own section of the plane with additional security to calm the tension.

It is unclear why Moreno caused the confusion and what he was doing.

After he got off the deportation flight, he put a putt on his shoulder from security officials escorting him from the plane.

Moreno illegally crossed the Texas border in April 2022 and was soon released to the US.

However, the Venezuelan border crosser failed to appear in due to necessary check-in with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), leading the federal government to arrest him in Gahanna, Ohio in March 2024.

The immigration judge ordered Moreno to be deported last October, but Venezuela refused to accept deportation flights at the time.

Once President Trump returned to the White House and launched a massive deportation campaign, Venezuela began allowing US deportation flights to land again.

Moreno was moved to the Ice Detention Center in Conroe, Texas on February 26th, preparing for deportation.

Moreno caused anger while living in the US illegally due to his viral ticock video. There, they boasted about handouts that immigrants could receive from the US government, and encouraged other Venezuelan immigrants to “invade abandoned homes.”

“I didn't work like a slave beyond the Rio Grande,” Moreno said, waving a $100 bill in one clip.

Moreno also said he used his one-year-old baby, the US citizen, to enhance his social media presence, boasting that he and his wife had paid nothing for the birth of their daughter thanks to “Papa Biden.”

ICE was also considering Moreno's alleged service as a sergeant at Venezuela's Military Intelligence Bureau, sources previously told the Post. He was also being investigated to post videos on social media.

Sources said Venezuelan immigrants later testified that he was a member of the Venezuelan navy rank and file.

While in prison, Moreno spoke to the Post, lamenting about being a victim of unjust “persecution.”

“I've come here for persecution in my country…but they're doing the same thing to me in the United States – persecuting me,” moaned Moreno.

“It's all media misinformation about me. They're honoring me. They misrepresent me in the news… I respect good fathers, good husbands, good sons, good people, humble people, people who respect me,” he added.
