A Venezuelan social media influencer has gone viral with a video promoting “squatting” — trespassing on someone’s property in order to seize it — and instructing fellow immigrants on how to “invade” American homes. Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant who uses the handle @leitooficial_25 on TikTok, has enraged social media users with a video telling followers that “if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.
” In a video with nearly 800,000 views, Moreno says in Spanish: “I found out that there is a law that says if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.” Past videos of Moreno’s show him promoting other ways of getting easy money, such as panhandling and receiving government welfare. He claimed that he knows other migrants who have already successfully squatted in and seized houses, saying, “My African friends have told me that they have already taken about seven homes.” “You have to look for the return, and the return right now is to invade a house,” Moreno explained, adding that taking advantage of squatter’s rights is the “only way we have to not live in the street and not be a public burden.” It is unclear if Moreno is being investigated for sharing his threats to take over American homes, but some commenters who saw the video shared across multiple platforms believe he should be jailed or deported
