The wife of the ‘migrant influencer’ who encouraged illegal aliens to squat in American homes has announced the pair have split. 

Veronica Torres, who is married to outspoken Venezuelan immigrant Leonel Moreno, condemned her husband’s advocative antics as she revealed their separation. 

Torres, who shares a US-born child with Moreno, says she hopes he learns from his mistakes.

‘How sad to see how he could have been a better person and a good father, and yet he had a whole life ahead of him and didn’t take advantage of it as the father of your only daughter,’ Torres said in a TikTok post which showed images of Moreno exiting the deportation flight.

‘I wish you luck and hope you can improve as a person, that you can think clearly, and that all the hate you carry inside doesn’t go out on my daughter.’ 

In another social media video, Torres hit back at critics who said she was ‘ungrateful’ for the ‘fame’ he gave her.

‘Regardless of how he wanted to give me fame or how I became famous or not, I don’t see it that way,’ Torres explained.

‘There are many people who tell me “you should take advantage of it” and no, I’m not interested. I just want to be an ordinary person who uploads some of their things daily or something that is exciting for them, I’m not interested in fame.

‘Me and Leonel are no longer together, it’s been a while since then, and it’s really uncomfortable all those questions that people ask me, like what’s going on, where is he,’ she added.

Torres first announced the split back in January when she posted a clip to TikTok captioned: ‘Officially I am no longer with Leonel, my daughter’s father.’ 

Moreno, 27, a ‘migrant influencer’ notoriously flaunted stacks of cash and posted squatting advice for undocumented illegal border crossers. 

‘If a house is not inhabited, we can seize it,’ he asserted in a controversial post last year. 

‘I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,’ he said in another post while flashing $100 bills. 

Moreno also bragged that he used his one-year-old daughter to gain social media clout, while thanking ‘Papa Biden’ for footing the bills to support the baby.

But Moreno’s fall from grace came quickly as the Trump administration secured a deal with the Maduro regime to resume removal flights to the South American country.

On the flight, Moreno sparked a disturbance, triggering outrage and frustration from others onboard, forcing him to be moved to a high security section of the plane

Once he arrived on Venezuelan soil, Moreno smugly flashed a thumbs up as he was guided off the aircraft.

Venezuela’s Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello said the brazen TikToker was ‘welcome’ back.

Moreno had been on the run from ICE ever since he and Torres illegally crossed the Eagle Pass, Texas border into the US in April 2022.

The agency then lost track of Moreno and his wife who settled down in Ohio.

Moreno had been enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program, which allows migrants on parole to go free while officials track them until their next court date.

When he never showed up for his court date in Miami in November 2022, he was listed as an ‘absconder’ from the program.

But, Moreno slid back onto ICE’s radar last year, when his outrageous content about ways to cheat the American government as an illegal migrant went viral.

In March 2024, Moreno was arrested in Columbus after months of taunting Americans online.

He was being held in federal custody at the Geauga County Jail in Ohio after ICE found him and arrested him for violating his terms of probation.

In addition to violating his parole conditions, Moreno was flagged by authorities for shamelessly posting pictures of himself guns on Instagram.

He was also being looked into because authorities believe he used to be a sergeant in the Venezuelan military, the Post reported.

An immigration judge ordered Moreno to be sent back to Venezuela in October 2024, but the country was not accepting any deportation flights at the time.

However, amid Trump’s immigration crackdown, Venezuela started allowing those flights once again.

Moreno has grown infamous for his posts about living in America. One of his most viral clips was him instructing people to utilize squatters’ rights. Pictured: Leonel Moreno exits the deportation flight in Venezuela on March 28, 2025

Last month, Moreno was moved from the Ohio prison to an ICE detention center in Conroe, Texas before his deportation, according to the Post.

He had garnered more than half a million TikTok followers before his account was suspended.

A spokesman for TikTok told DailyMail.com at the time that the platform doesn’t allow users to promote criminal activities.

He has also been seen waving handfuls of cash, insinuating he was free-loading off of government assistance programs.
