The mugshot of a “migrant influencer” on the lam in the US after fleeing immigration officials has surfaced for the first time — as the freeloading Venezuelan took to social media again to mock American taxpayers for working like slaves.
Leonel Moreno, who has made a name for himself on TikTok by encouraging others to invade the US and squat at the homes of citizens, skipped out on ICE authorities soon after crossing the southern border into Texas illegally in 2022.
The Venezuelan national was originally enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program and was cut loose on parole due to a lack of space in detention facilities.
He was quickly listed as an “absconder” from the program when he failed to show up for a later court date, internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement records show.
In his original mugshot, the so-called migrant influencer can be seen staring blankly ahead — a far cry from the gleeful social media videos he’s been posting since being on the run.
It comes as a defiant Moreno posted a flurry of videos to Instagram on Wednesday of himself flashing wads of cash — the same day he was booted from TikTok over similar content.
