"Venezuelan 'Migrant Influencer' Complains of Persecution from Jail"

Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan "migrant influencer" who encouraged squatting in the U.S., is now complaining from jail about being a victim of persecution and missing his freedom. He was arrested in Ohio after failing to appear for required check-ins and may be facing federal firearm charges. Moreno's inflammatory TikTok videos, in which he bragged about not having to work and encouraged squatting, led to his account being banned. He insists that the person on his social media posts was just a "character" and shouldn’t be conflated with his normal self.
