ICE has arrested a viral TikToker and fugitive influencer who encouraged migrants to claim squatter's rights in the U.S. This has prompted action from lawmakers and homeowners amid a squatter crisis affecting properties nationwide. The influencer, a Venezuelan migrant, has been detained for further immigration proceedings. The issue of squatters has led to significant damages in homes, with one victim estimating repair costs up to $200k. Authorities and homeowners are grappling with the legal complexities of 'adverse possession' laws, making evictions expensive and cumbersome. The situation has raised concerns about property rights and the need for legal protections against squatters.
