“Moreno was arrested in Gahanna, Ohio by officers with ERO Detroit’s Columbus office and is currently detained pending further immigration proceedings,” ICE says in statement.
A Venezuelan illegal alien who went viral on TikTok urging fellow illegals to squat in U.S. homes has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.
Leonel Moreno was arrested by ICE’s Detroit field office in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday, who confirmed Moreno was detained “pending further immigration proceedings.”
“Leonel Moreno is an unlawfully present citizen of Venezuela, who illegally entered the country April 23, 2022,” ICE told the New York Post.
“Moreno was placed into the Alternatives To Detention program by Border Patrol and was told to report to Enforcement and Removal Operations office within 60 days of arriving at his destination. Moreno did not report as required. On March 29, 2024, Moreno was arrested in Gahanna, Ohio by officers with ERO Detroit’s Columbus office and is currently detained pending further immigration proceedings.“
The clout-chasing “migrant influencer” recently made headlines for his incendiary TikTok video calling on illegals to “invade” U.S. homes, claiming he and his African illegal migrant friends wanted to make a business out of it.
“I have thought about invading a house in the United States,” Moreno said to his nearly half-million followers. “I found out that there is a law that says that if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.”
“The law says that if the abandoned houses are deteriorated and that are in bad condition, we can get, repair and live in it and even sell it,” he added.

Remarkable.
“We can invade a house in the USA, what do you think about this new law?” a video from one TikTok user read.

Moreno’s TikTok account was suspended last week shortly after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was confronted about his call for illegals to squat in U.S. homes.
Peter Doocy: “There is a Venezuelan migrant with half a million followers on TikTok who is telling border crossers they can live in empty houses in this country. Would…Biden support a law that would make that kind of squatting illegal?”

Moreno’s most recent video on Instagram mocked American citizens as “slaves” for subsidizing his and other illegal aliens’ lifestyles as he waved around wads of $100 bills.
“You’re hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand?” Moreno 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.”

In previous TikTok videos, Moreno also declared he was “on vacation” in America and was avoiding work by exploiting his child to get cushy welfare payments.
He also called on his followers to “unite” behind a 15-year-old illegal alien who shot a woman in Times Square last month.
Will Moreno be deported from the U.S. for good, or is this simply an effort by the Biden regime to address the negative optics his viral social media posts have brought about?
