Leonel Moreno, the Venezuelan TikToker who became infamous for telling illegal immigrants to invade American homes, has finally been deported. The Trump administration made sure this loudmouth squatter won’t be giving any more bad advice. His removal shows what happens when America puts law and order first.
Moreno crossed the border illegally in 2022 and immediately started causing trouble. He used social media to tell other migrants to take over empty houses. He claimed U.S. laws would protect squatters. His videos went viral, with millions watching him brag about cheating the system.
But his luck ran out. After skipping mandatory check-ins with ICE, he was arrested in Ohio last year. A judge ordered him deported, but Venezuela refused to take him back. That changed when President Trump cut a deal with their government. Now Moreno’s back where he belongs.
The “migrant influencer” didn’t just push squatting. He mocked hardworking Americans and even other immigrants. In one video, he waved stacks of cash and laughed at people with real jobs. “I didn’t come here to work like a slave,” he said. Meanwhile, his family pocketed $350 a week in taxpayer handouts.
Getting rid of him wasn’t easy. Venezuela initially blocked deportation flights under Biden. But Trump fixed that. Moreno fought his removal until the end, causing a scene on the plane. Guards had to move him away from angry passengers who blamed him for making Venezuelans look bad.
This is part of a bigger crackdown. The Trump team has deported over 37,000 people since January. ICE arrests are way up, targeting lawbreakers like Moreno. The message is clear: come here illegally, flout our laws, and you’re gone.
Back in Venezuela, officials “welcomed” Moreno with open arms. He grinned for cameras while being escorted off the plane. But his 15 minutes of fame are over. TikTok shut down his account, and his wife says she’s done with him too.
Adios, Leonel. Your deportation proves that America’s patience for freeloaders has run out. The quiet part got said loud: illegal behavior won’t be tolerated anymore. For those who respect our laws, the door’s open. For the rest? Don’t let it hit you on the way out.
