Federal authorities believe that the migrant TikTok influencer who became a social media sensation for encouraging others to squat in US homes was a sergeant in Venezuela’s military intelligence unit before he illegally entered the country, a federal source told The Post.

Leonel Moreno — who went viral for bragging about all the money he was making in government benefits — was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in March for skipping out on the terms of his probation after he crossed the southern border illegally.

Since his arrest, intelligence officers have taken a closer look at Moreno’s history and his...

When you buy a home, your monthly expenses can run much higher than your mortgage payment. Home insurance, maintenance costs, home association dues and property taxes can spike your monthly outlay by hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.

Two “callous” congirls duped at least 16 lonely old men out of more than $7 million in a long-running romance scam, Manhattan federal prosecutors said. 

Rosanna Lisa Stanley and Gina Guy reeled in the “elderly” marks with tall tales about kidney and liver transplants and paid the grifters big bucks for bogus business investments, prosecutors alleged. 

The romance scam ran from at least 2009 until this year when they were arrested last month, authorities said.

The heartbreakers hooked their victims through “in-person meetings, phone calls, text messages, and an online dating platform,” according to court documents.
