INVADER NEWS: Illegal Migrant TikTok Influencer Who Urged Others to Squat in US Homes Believed to Have Worked in Venezuela’s Military Intel; Notorious Venezuelan Migrant Who Told Other Border Crossers to Squat in US Homes ‘used to be a SPY’

Illegal migrant TikTok influencer who urged others to squat in US homes believed to have worked in Venezuela’s military intel: fed source

Federal authorities believe that the migrant TikTok influencer who became a social media sensation for encouraging others to squat in US homes was a sergeant in Venezuela’s military intelligence unit before he illegally entered the country, a federal source told The Post.

Leonel Moreno — who went viral for bragging about all the money he was making in government benefits — was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in March for skipping out on the terms of his probation after he crossed the southern border illegally.

Since his arrest, intelligence officers have taken a closer look at Moreno’s history and his life in Venezuela, noting that he allegedly was a sergeant of the Venezuelan general directorate of military intelligence, according to a Homeland Security source.

Moreno, 27, crossed the border illegally into Eagle Pass, Texas, on April 23, 2022, and was released into the country, but skipped out on required check-ins with ICE, which led to his arrest.

Information from foreign countries is often hard to come by for border agents trying to protect the country from potential threats.

When it comes to Venezuela, the task is nearly impossible because the government there is unwilling to communicate with US authorities, several Border Patrol sources have told The Post.

“Knowing who these guys are, we have, like, no access to anything International. Like, we really don’t and it kind of sucks,” said one border agent.

“I wanted to get into Border Patrol and protect from terrorists. And it’s like, well, I probably let terrorists in the country.” —>READ MORE HERE

Notorious Venezuelan migrant who told other border crossers to squat in US homes ‘used to be a SPY

The notorious Venezuelan migrant who encouraged other border crossers to squat in US homes and collect benefits may have once been a spy.

Leonel Moreno was allegedly a sergeant of the Venezuelan general directorate of military intelligence prior to crossing in Eagle Pass, Texas on April 23, 2023, federal authorities told the New York Post.

They said they have been looking into Moreno’s past since he was arrested in March, but are having difficulty finding any information about him, as the Venezuelan government has been uncooperative with US authorities.

One Border Patrol agent even told the Post they have ‘no access to anything international.

‘I wanted to get into Border Patrol and protect from terrorists,’ the unidentified agent said. ‘And it’s like, well, I probably let terrorists into the country.’

Moreno remains in custody at the Ceauga County Jail in Ohio, but is said to be having trouble coming up with the money to hire an attorney – prompting the judge overseeing his immigration case to continually delay his court appearance.

Meanwhile, the Geauga County sheriff said he Moreno is behaving while behind bars.

‘I don’t know of any problems that we’ve had with him,’ Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand told the Post.

‘He’s in with the rest of the ICE inmates.’

The TikTok influencer gained notoriety in March after a video in which he advised his followers on how to ‘invade’ American homes and invoke squatter’s rights went viral.

He claimed that under United States law, ‘if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it’.

Moreno was referring to squatter’s rights, or adverse possession laws – a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner’s consent. —>READ MORE HERE
