A Venezuelan migrant with a substantial TikTok following of around 300,000 has called upon his audience to “unite” in support of the teenage undocumented immigrant who has been accused of shooting a tourist in Times Square. Notably, this individual proudly highlights their reliance on taxpayer funds and the social safety net.

In a widely viewed video, TikToker Leonal Moreno urges his followers to contribute towards assisting the alleged perpetrator, asserting that they will ultimately be set free regardless.
