TikTok Freeloader Flaunted U.S. Handouts, Mocked America, & Urged Squatting—Now Deported [WATCH]

The circus act known as Leonel Moreno—the Venezuelan squatter-turned-TikTok activist who mocked America’s generosity and encouraged illegal aliens to seize homes—has officially been booted out of the country, as reported by The New York Post.

After two years of freeloading and showboating, Moreno’s one-way ticket back to Venezuela finally came through, thanks to President Trump’s revived deportation flights.

Moreno, who illegally entered the U.S. via Texas in 2022, used his time here not to work or contribute, but to brag about exploiting the American welfare system.

He flaunted government handouts on social media, boasted about living rent-free, and urged fellow illegals to occupy abandoned homes. One of his most repulsive stunts included waving $100 bills while sneering:

“I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave.”

In other videos, he proudly claimed that “Papa Biden” footed the bill for his U.S.-born child’s hospital delivery, and he shamelessly admitted to using the baby to boost his online following. This wasn’t immigration—it was opportunism at its worst.

After skipping mandatory ICE check-ins and evading authorities for nearly two years, Moreno was finally arrested in March 2024 in Gahanna, Ohio.

His deportation had already been ordered in October 2023, but thanks to the Biden administration’s refusal to enforce real border policies, flights to Venezuela were halted until President Trump returned and put the law back in motion.

Moreno was transferred to an ICE detention facility in Conroe, Texas, in February to await his deportation. When the time came to put him on the plane, the self-proclaimed victim stirred up chaos mid-flight.

He caused such a disturbance that he had to be separated from the rest of the passengers and placed under additional security watch. Apparently, this “humble and respectful” man couldn’t even keep his act together on the way out.

Upon arrival in Venezuela, he had the gall to flash a thumbs-up and smile for the cameras, showing zero remorse for his antics on U.S. soil. Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello bizarrely welcomed him back like a returning celebrity.

Federal authorities had also been investigating Moreno’s background. Sources revealed he once served as a sergeant in Venezuela’s military intelligence, and he’d been filmed testing out firearms at a gun store while in the U.S.

During his time in ICE custody, he claimed he was just a simple navy member and cried to The Post about so-called persecution.

“I came here to the United States because of persecution in my country … But they’re doing the same thing to me in the United States.”

He then launched into a pity party, insisting, “I am a good father, a good husband, a good son, a good person…”

Nice try, Leonel. America doesn’t owe you a platform—or a paycheck. This isn’t TikTok; it’s reality.
