Migrant influencer facing deportation for inciting invasion of USA: complications delaying departure.
Deportation order issued for controversial migrant influencer
Leonel Moreno, also known as Leito Oficial, a migrant influencer who gained fame for his controversial social media posts, has been issued a deportation order by an immigration judge in Ohio. However, the execution of the order is complicated due to the suspension of deportation flights to Venezuela, Moreno’s home country.
Moreno’s arrest and current situation
Moreno was initially arrested in March 2023 in Columbus, Ohio, for illegal border crossing in April 2022. He was later released under the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program but failed to comply with reporting obligations. Despite his online popularity, Moreno has faced backlash for his criticisms of the American system and derogatory comments towards hardworking citizens.
