According to a government source who spoke to The Post, federal investigators think that the TikTok star who is a migrant and became viral on social media for pushing people to squat in US houses was a secret service unit commander in Venezuela before his unauthorized entry.

After crossing the southern border illegally in March, Leonel Moreno, who gained notoriety for talking about his large income from government handouts, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for violating the conditions of his release.

In response to a Homeland Security source, Moreno claimed to have the position of commander in the Venezuelan general directorate within military intelligence. After his arrest, intelligence officials conducted a more thorough investigation into Moreno’s background and lifestyle in Venezuela.

On April 23, 2022, Moreno, 27, entered Eagle Pass, Texas, unlawfully. He was allowed to stay in the nation, but he neglected to check in with ICE as needed, which resulted in his detention.

When border officers are working to keep the country safe from possible threats, they frequently have trouble getting information from other countries.

According to multiple Border Patrol sources who spoke with The Post, the work is practically difficult in Venezuela since the administration there is unable to cooperate with US authorities.

Given our knowledge of these individuals, we essentially have no right to anything worldwide. We don’t, which is sort of awful,” a border agent stated.

“I desired to join Border Patrol so I could defend people against terrorists.” And I’m thinking, “Well, I probably allowed terrorists to enter the nation.”

Moreno is scheduled to see an immigrant court today while he is still being held at the Geauga County Jail in Ohio.

But sources say the judge overseeing his immigration issue was putting off his hearing because he has been unable to find the money to hire a lawyer.
