Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant and self-proclaimed influencer, has been arrested after a series of controversial actions and statements. Moreno, who gained notoriety for his videos where he waves around cash, mocking US taxpayers and advising illegal migrants on how to squat in American homes, is now facing legal repercussions. His content, which included flaunting cash and disparaging those who 'work like slaves', drew significant attention and criticism. Additionally, another Venezuelan national, Elvis Hernandez-Pernalete, has been arrested in Chicago for criminal sexual abuse, aggravated battery, and related charges after allegedly assaulting a woman on a university campus and was denied pre-trial release. These incidents have sparked a broader conversation about illegal immigration, squatter's rights, and the challenges facing law enforcement. The arrest of Moreno, who went TikTok viral for his advice on squatting, was carried out by ICE.
