Migrant influencer pushed SQUATING, TikTok CANCELS him and NOW he’s a FUGITIVE!

The “migrant influencer” encouraging others to invade the US and squat at the homes of citizens skipped out on authorities shortly after arriving in the country and is on the run from immigration officials, The Post can reveal.

Venezuelan national Leonel Moreno crossed the southern border illegally in April 2022 at Eagle Pass, Texas, and was enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program, which allows federal authorities to track migrants using ankle monitors or other technology.

However, Moreno didn’t follow the rules and is now listed as an “absconder” from the program, according to internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents seen by The Post.

Moreno — who claims in his videos that he, his wife and daughter receive $350 a week from the federal government — appears to be hiding in plain sight, even posting a video in front of a police car from Gahanna, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.

Gahanna police told The Post they are aware of the videos, but added: “To date, our agency has had no contact with this individual and we are unaware of his location.”

Moreno was originally released into the US on parole due to a lack of space in detention facilities. This has previously meant migrants haven’t been fully interviewed and vetted by authorities — which usually takes around three days — before being let into the US.

John Fabbricatore, a former ICE field office director for the agency in Denver, told The Post that the Biden administration’s reliance on Alternatives to Detention, which currently includes over a million people, “is nothing short of a failure.”

“We have witnessed yet another individual who was allowed entry into the US under the ATD program, only to abscond and make TikTok videos explaining how to break the law. The question stands — how many thousands more are out there unaccounted for after fleeing this program?” said Fabbricatore, who is running to represent Colorado’s Sixth District.

Moreno has been seen living in Columbus. His listed point of contact in the US was Catholic Charities in Miami, according to ICE documents.

ICE in Miami mailed Moreno an immigration court date in November 2022 after he never appeared in person, according to sources.

Fabbricatore said that migrants who abscond from the Alternatives to Detention program are likely not going to be tracked down by federal authorities and are only likely to come onto ICE’s radar again if arrested by a local police force.

“The ICE Alternatives to Detention program, despite its multi-billion-dollar budget, is failing to meet necessary standards and has alarmingly high absconder rates. ICE fails to track down absconders and instead just removes them from the program,” Fabbricatore added.

“This underscores a lack of accountability and allows illegal aliens to commit further crimes before ICE will make them a priority for detention and further removal.

“The Biden administration markets these policies as solutions, but in reality, it’s merely a smoke screen obscuring the chaos and failures at the border,” he said.

Moreno has become a TikTok influencer, encouraging “fellow Venezuelans” to squat in the homes of US citizens and calling President Biden “mi papa.”

However, on Thursday it appeared his profile on the platform had been deleted, although he continued to post on Instagram, with a video of him flauting $100 bills from a huge wad.

Moreno also frequently shows off supplies purchased using food stamps. He can also be seen on his Instagram waving a Social Security card while lying in bed with his baby.

On social media, he frequently boasts of his earnings from begging for cash, claiming he makes roughly $1,000 a day.

Run for the hills, citizens.
Or stand up and fight the government.

[Terry-mwhm]

This guy has no idea how many people he has angered. Nor does he know how much safer he would be in prison than on the street.

[StarFleet_Tech]

My state, Georgia, just passed an anti-squatter law this week. Now squatters are subject to police eviction and criminal trespass laws!

[vitamin]

The REAL issue is that people ARE ABLE to do this, not that some kid is telling people HOW to do it.

[darrellcovello]

"Failed to track them down" implies that they actually tried

[yaqbulyakkerbat]

Remember when the usa wasn't the laughing stock of the world?

[VR-gshd]

These are not selfless people trying to work thing out. They are also coming with a camera and social media addiction.

[junkmail]

To be fair, would the laws ever change if this guy stayed quiet? Remember people, the only way the rules will change is if you screw things up bad enough while playing by the rules. No protest will ever be as effective as blatantly abusing the rules, and being seen doing it!

[ttrev]

we really need to change the laws on squatters.

[CookNut]

This alien threat was giving out the Democrats Grand Plan. That why they got him as a fugitive. He was saying the quiet parts out loud!

[brianleblancart]

I think legislation needs to be enacted just for this national emergency.

[bananabishop]

I appreciate you covering this. However, this really is frustrating because it's been allowed to happen...

[wildcatgrljulie]

Hope he's SCARED now!
Everyone is after him now😂

[Sacto]

Did this influencer tried to do this in Florida? Where a new law agressively punishes squatters?

[GR-pvjx]

So this criminal "tik toker" thief is calling parked cars "abandoned vehicles." How woke of him.

[michaelroy]

This criminal invokes god?! "Though shall not steal! Though shall not kill!"

[jamessilva]

Ironically I was totally unaware of this stupid exploit. Due to the fact this loophole doesn't exist in the state I live in.

Squatting here do NOT get renter privileges and calling the Police is enough to get them out and Arrested.

[jayhanson-hsvg]

i would say deport him but the country probably does not want him back . trouble maker is now in trouble i love it

[Johnsmith-koyj]

Squatters beware, not all owners ask politely, you might go missing.

[LuigiTheMetal]

Crow: "This way we don't have to hire illegal immigrants."
