The Trump administration just booted a viral Venezuelan squatter. He made waves online by waving cash and urging others to take over homes in America.
Leonel Moreno, 26, told his followers he planned to profit by selling those squatted homes. "He has been deported," the Trump team posted on X.
In his videos, Moreno ridiculed Americans and hardworking immigrants. He flashed hundreds, cried, sang, and showed off a sick baby.
"I didn't cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave," he said in Spanish. "I came to the U.S. to mark my territory."
He boasted about TikTok cash and government aid. He claimed his family received $350 a week in benefits and bragged about making $1,000 a week from videos.
"You're hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand?" he said. "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 banned him after he hit 500,000 followers. But he kept posting on Facebook and Instagram until his arrest in Ohio.
ICE detained him after his online fame blew up. He sat in custody for months under Biden. Now, he's finally out.
A judge ordered his deportation last September. But Venezuela blocked flights under Biden.
Moreno had crossed near Eagle Pass, Texas, in 2022. He was released into the U.S. under Biden’s border parole system.
