He won’t be missed.
Remember Leonel Moreno? The 26-year-old illegal migrant influencer who shared squatting tips with other illegal migrants, encouraging them to take over American homes?
Well, he’s gone now. So long, Leonel.
President Trump’s rapid response team commented on a video of Moreno, shared by conservative influencer Collin Rugg last year.
“Update: He has been deported,” the rapid response team said, with a hand-waving emoji.

From Fox News:
In his videos, he mocked U.S. taxpayers and even other immigrants who work for a living, alternately waving stacks of hundred-dollar bills, crying, singing or posing with an infant with mucus running out of his nose.
“I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” Moreno said in Spanish, according to a translation of his videos. “I came to the U.S. to mark my territory.”
He bragged about raking in cash via TikTok as well as entitlement payments from U.S. taxpayers. He claimed that his family had received $350 a week in government handouts since entering the U.S. illegally and that at one point he was raking in as much as $1,000 a week with his viral videos.
“You’re hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand?” he said in one of his videos. “That’s the difference between you and me. I’m always going to make lots of money without much work, and you’re always going to be exploited and miserable and insignificant.”
TikTok eventually shut down his account, which had amassed about 500,000 followers. He continued to post videos on Facebook and Instagram until his arrest last year in Ohio.

ICE picked him up after his online profile exploded, but he spent months in custody under the Biden administration. Now, he is gone.
