I&rsquo;m guessing he apparently read the room in the interim and decided that, in a state where summary lock-up for undesirables isn&rsquo;t a bug but a feature of the &ldquo;justice&rdquo; system, putting this guy in the slammer was a popular move.<\/p>\n<p>The influencer was arrested in March of 2024 for failing to make follow-up visits with the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office after he crossed the border two years earlier. A judge ordered him deported a few months later.<\/p>\n<p>This was after his antics had gone viral on TikTok &mdash; but before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/us-makes-rare-move-filing-criminal-charges-world-leader-venezuela-pres-nicolas-maduro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicol&aacute;s Maduro<\/a> government was accepting flights of deported migrants back to the country. Trump and the regime reached an agreement back in January and Moreno was deported last week, albeit in a special section of the plane due to fellow deportees&rsquo; animosity toward them. Apparently, they were upset with how he portrayed Venezuelan immigrants on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he gave illegal immigration a bad name. Who would have thought it?<\/p>\n<p>As his deportation neared, some his old clips resurfaced, including ones where he said &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,&rdquo; and told migrants they could &ldquo;invade abandoned houses,&rdquo; adding that &ldquo;I found out that there is a law that says that if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think that will be my next business, invading abandoned houses,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">NEW: TikToker is going viral by telling illegal immigrants how to &ldquo;invade&rdquo; homes in America thanks to progressive squatting laws<\/p>\n<p>Remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We can invade a house in the USA, what do you think about this new law?&rdquo; a video from one TikTok user read.<\/p>\n<p>The man said he has African&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/b92DT9fYq7\">pic.twitter.com\/b92DT9fYq7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1770486545214251441?\">March 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a 2024 interview, he sounded slightly regretful, mostly because 1) he got caught, and 2) he was afraid of what would happen to him.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I came here to the United States because of persecution in my country &hellip; But they&rsquo;re doing the same thing to me in the United States &ndash; persecuting me,&rdquo; he told <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/04\/07\/us-news\/migrant-influencer-leonel-moreno-whines-that-hes-a-victim-of-persecution-in-jailhouse-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Post<\/a> in the interview from an Ohio jail.<\/p>\n<p>During the video sit-down, the Post reported that &ldquo;five scowling inmates looked in his direction, with some indecipherably shouting at him.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What is happening?&rdquo; Moreno said. &ldquo;I am afraid they&rsquo;re going to kill me. They&rsquo;re coming for my life &ndash; anyone!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He claimed during the interview that he was just playing a &ldquo;character&rdquo; in the videos.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The person who is in my videos, my character, is not the same person as Leonel Moreno. I am a different person. We can&rsquo;t confuse one with the other. We can&rsquo;t confuse my character with my real life,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I have a sarcastic, dark humor [in the videos]. That&rsquo;s my job &hellip; Leonel Moreno is the opposite,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;If Leonel Moreno commits a crime or something then they would be right, but it&rsquo;s because of my work, so this is unfair &hellip; Social media is my job.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting, however, that he told the Post they should contact his wife, from whom he is now separated, in order to &ldquo;charge&rdquo; for a &ldquo;good interview&rdquo; with him. (The Post, like most other journalistic institutions, doesn&rsquo;t pay for interviews.)<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s also the problematic issue of an investigation by the U.S. federal government, the Post said, which was &rdquo; also probing Moreno&rsquo;s alleged service as a sergeant of the Venezuelan general directorate of military intelligence,&rdquo; adding that &ldquo;the migrant influencer later testified that he was a rank-and-file member of the Venezuelan navy, according to sources.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that dozens have <a href=\"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/news\/analysis\/venezuela-prison-abandoned-massacre-61-dead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">been<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-latin-america-52517167\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed<\/a> in prison riots in Venezuela under the Ch&aacute;vez-Maduro regime, and the government is not averse to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">allegedly letting problematic prisoners die<\/a> off &mdash; especially <a href=\"https:\/\/english.elpais.com\/international\/2024-12-17\/two-political-prisoners-dead-in-72-hours-alarm-rises-over-conditions-in-venezuelan-prisons.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">after<\/a> an attempt at election-fixing last year wasn&rsquo;t bought by even the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/venezuelas-maduro-desperate-keep-power-bizarre-sounding-solution-christmas-october\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">credulous foreign or domestic observers<\/a>, but still kept Maduro in power, if barely.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that, in the wake of opposition to the nakedly rigged results, Cabello was appointed as the minister for the country&rsquo;s justice apparatus &mdash; such as it might be &mdash; in part to oversee a crackdown called &ldquo;Operation Knock-Knock,&rdquo; which was what they said would happen to anyone who was caught opposing the government in public.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Knock knock!

Moreno was known as an illegal immigrant influencer on TikTok, where he engaged in elaborate scams and promoted violence. He boasted about receiving financial support from &#8220;Papa Biden&#8221; for his daughter&#8217;s delivery and encouraged other undocumented immigrants to unlawfully occupy vacant homes by claiming squatter&#8217;s rights. Additionally, he organized a fundraiser for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting a Brazilian tourist in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Recently deported back to Venezuela, Moreno now faces charges of inciting hatred due to his behavior in the U.S., according to Diosdado Cabello, the Venezuelan Minister of Interior, Justice, and Peace.

His antics had gained significant attention on TikTok before the Maduro government began accepting flights of deported migrants again.<\/p>\n<p>As his deportation approached, old videos resurfaced where he claimed he didn&#8217;t come to America &#8220;to work like a slave&#8221; and suggested that migrants could &#8220;invade abandoned houses,&#8221; believing there were laws allowing them to do so. In interviews following his arrest, Moreno expressed fear for his life while also attempting to distance himself from the persona portrayed in his videos by claiming it was merely a character.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some sympathy for those facing harsh treatment under Maduro\u2019s regime\u2014especially given past prison riots\u2014it&#8217;s hard to feel much compassion for Moreno given his actions promoting illegal activities while living as an undocumented immigrant in another country. Ultimately, one might conclude that engaging in such reckless behavior can lead one into serious trouble\u2014a lesson that seems particularly relevant here<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2419860,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/moreno.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3813,32779,6248],"class_list":["post-2419857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-immigration","tag-legal-issues","tag-tiktok"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/moreno.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2419857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2419857"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2419857\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2419865,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2419857\/revisions\/2419865"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2419860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2419857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2419857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2419857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
