From the New York Post: 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.

Leonel Moreno, who encouraged illegal migrants to “invade abandoned houses” in sick TikToks, was sent back to the narco state this week, after President Trump resumed deportation flights to the country.

Venezuela’s Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, said Moreno was “welcome” back, however, the freeloading migrant caused disruptions on the flight and upset his fellow passengers.

The firebrand TikTokker had to be placed in his own section of the plane with extra security to calm tensions. It is unclear why Moreno caused a disruption or what he was doing.

Moreno, who entered the US illegally by crossing the border at Eagle Pass, Texas on April 23, 202, was quickly released into the US by the Biden administration through the Alternatives to Detention program. He first listed his U.S. “immigration sponsor” as a church charity in Miami, but went to live in Columbus, Ohio. However, he later cut off his ankle monitor and failed to show up for a scheduled court date in November 2022.

He prompted national outrage after his viral TikTok videos were discovered, in which he bragged about all the free services he was getting in the U.S. and encouraged other Venezuelans to become ‘squatters’ and take over abandoned houses.

In his daily viral videos, Moreno had bragged about receiving $350 a week in handouts from the U.S. government, and said he was making over $1,000 a day as a TikTok influencer.

He also mocked people who work for a living, saying in one video, “You’re hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand? 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.”

In many of his viral videos, Moreno used his 1-year-old baby as a prop, while he flashed wads of cash before the camera. He bragged that he and his wife didn’t have to pay anything for the baby’s birth, thanks to “Papa Biden.”

“I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” Moreno gloated in one video.

ICE finally found and arrested Moreno in Gahanna, Ohio in March 2024. In October an immigration judge ordered him deported, but Venezuela wasn’t accepting any deportation flights at the time.

Now he has finally been flown back to Venezuela. Reportedly, Moreno had to receive special security during deportation, because the rest of the deportees were blaming him for Venezuelans being deported.

In a video posted on his Instagram account on Feb. 28, 2024, Moreno is seen lying down with his baby and waving documents, including a brand new Social Security card.
