The wife of the “ migrant influencer ” who urged people to “invade” the United States grew emotional Saturday as she revealed she’s not allowed to see her jailed husband.

Veronica Torres was spotted crying outside the Sonesta Simply Suites Columbus Airport long-stay hotel in Gahanna, a suburb of Columbus, a day after her husband Leonel Moreno was booked into jail .

Brigitte Stelzer Moreno became popular online after posting videos to social media encouraging other migrants to invade the country and invoke squatter’s rights.

In many videos, he waved around loads of cash that he claimed was from government handouts and begging for cash.

“We don’t know where they took him and I can’t see him,” she told The Post.

“I can’t give you any more information because I

don’t know much.”

Many hotel guests — half of whom are paying guests — said they saw Moreno inside the hotel last week before his arrest and said he “kept to himself.”

“I’ve seen him here for a week,” Chrissy Rowell, 30, told The Post. “He didn’t bother anyone.”

Brigitte Stelzer Moreno became popular online after posting videos to social media encouraging other migrants to invade the country and invoke squatter’s rights.

In many videos, he waved around loads of cash that he claimed was from government handouts and begging for cash.

“I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” Moreno said in one Instagram clip.

“I came to the US to mark my territory.”

“You’re hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand?

By the time TikTok shut down his account, he had around 500,000 followers.

Moreno was picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Friday and is currently being held at Geauga County Jail, ICE records show.

The arrest comes after The Post exclusively reported how Moreno had skipped out on ICE soon after crossing the Texas border illegally in 2022.

“Moreno was placed into the Alternatives To Detention program by Border Patrol and was told to report to Enforcement and Removal Operations office within 60 days of arriving at his destination,” an ICE spokesperson told The Post.

“Moreno did not report as required. On March 29, 2024, Moreno was arrested in Gahanna, Ohio by officers with ERO Detroit’s Columbus office and is currently detained pending further immigration proceedings.”

Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand confirmed the migrant is cooling his heels in the Columbus-area jail, adding, “ICE agents will come get him if he needs to be moved and take him wherever he needs to be taken.”

With the religious holiday, Hildenbrand said most courts were closed Friday. It is unclear when Moreno will go to court.

This wetback's situation is so breaking /s. In the dictionary sympathy is between 💩 and syphilis.



Leonel? Or Leona? You be the judge. He does look kinda maricón- ish. He might be like the Flintstones, having a "gay" old time in jail

Dumbass miggies should have stayed home. America is not a South of the Border craphole. Go home and commit your crimes.

He will get a stern talking to about spreading information he shouldn’t be spreading and then he will be released back into the community.

He will learn to keep his mouth shut and will continue stealing our social and cultural inheritance in silence.

If we were serious they would already be deported. Follow the story, within a few more days or weeks he’ll simply be released back into usa.

So Leonel Moreno is also Brigitte Stelzer Moreno, whose wife is Veronica Torres.

According to the story.

You know, that might actually work. We just pay the Haitian govt "X" number of dollars for each alien as we deliver them.

Since the Haitian govt cannot control/tax anything, they'll appreciate the money. After a few thousand aliens arrive in Haiti, things will get interesting.

I saw this picture of him on the Daily Mail:

He is the one with the coke/snot dripping from his nostrils.
