Federal officials are reportedly investigating whether Moreno should be cited under the Gun Control Act. Moreno has become known for his incendiary videos in which he encourages migrants to take advantage of America's social benefits, and particularly squatter's rights.
An ICE spokesperson, however, could not confirm or deny any information about its ongoing investigations. A former ATF special agent, Peter Forcelli, told the outlet that Moreno would be charged if he was found to be in possession of a firearm transported across state lines while living in the country illegally. The TikToker was arrested near Columbus on March 29 for failing to report to immigration officials for required check-ins. He remains in custody at the Geauga County Jail.
Parolees are banned from possessing, shipping, transporting, or receiving firearms or ammunition under the U. Gun Control Act. A popularly held belief is that Moreno aimed to purposefully incite anger with his videos, racking up views from rage-watchers. With his TikTok account suspended, Moreno has taken to Instagram to continue his incendiary posts. You are also agreeing to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Powered by RedCircle.
