Leonel Moreno, the "migrant influencer" who encouraged others to invade the United States and squat at the homes of citizens on social media, was ordered deported by an immigration judge, however, likely won't be kicked out due to a diplomatic row, the New York Post reports.

Moreno, 27, a Venezuelan migrant, was ordered by an Ohio-based immigration judge to be removed from the U.S. on September 9, according to Homeland Security sources, but a halt on deportation flights to Venezuela could prohibit him from exiting. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maudro's administration stopped accepting flights of migrants deported from the U.S. and Mexico in retaliation to the United States reimposing economic sanctions of the country earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time.

The U.S. claimed Caracas failed to restore democratic order and the nearly weekly flights deporting Venezuelan migrants back to their home country halted in late January, the newspaper reported. Maduro's administration followed through on its promise to kill an agreement with the U.S. on flights initially reached last October after the economic sanctions on Venezuela returned.

Additionally, there are no direct commercial flights from the U.S. to Venezuela as they were suspended by the Department of Transportation in 2019 due to unrest and violence in the country and renewed by the U.S. in May.

Moreno, a Venezuelan national who illegally crossed the U.S. southern border at Eagle Pass, Texas, in April 2022, was seen holding and showing off firearms on his social media accounts in which he mocked Americans, though there is no proof he ever actually purchased a weapon and authorities haven't yet released information regarding what was seized from a hotel during his recent arrest. The migrant was reportedly detained in Columbus and being held at Geauga County Jail, the records stated.

Moreno reportedly broke the rules of the Alternatives to Detention program he was enrolled in, which allows federal authorities to track migrants using ankle monitors and various other technology, and is now considered an "absconder" from the program, ICE documents viewed by the New York Post prior to his arrest confirmed. Moreno posted several videos online prior to his arrest, which included making claims that he, his wife and daughter receive $350 from the federal government weekly, as well as ranting in front of a Gahanna Police Department vehicle in suburban Columbus, Ohio.

“To date, our agency has had no contact with this individual and we are unaware of his location," Gahanna Police officials told the Post while confirming their awareness of the videos.

Moreno was originally released into the U.S. on parole due to a lack of space in detention facilities and seen living in Columbus, while his listed point of contact was Catholic Charities in Miami, according to the ICE documents seen by the Post. ICE in Miami mailed Moreno an immigration court date in November 2022 after he had previously no-showed, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the Post.

Moreno has encouraged "fellow Venezuelans" to squat in the homes of U.S. citizens on his TikTok account and flaunted supplies that he's claimed to have purchased with food stamps. The migrant has also shared posts waving a Social Security card and claiming he made about $1,000 a day from begging for money.

“I don’t like to work,” he tells followers. “Boys, in the US there are a million tricks, a million things to do,” Moreno said in a video.

“I’ve concluded that the American Dream is real,” he said in a separate post, adding that he never worked in the first year he lived in the U.S. “This is food of the best quality that they just give you.”
