Among the comments circulating online: “Divine justice,” “Karma always catches up,” “Straight to the same cell as Leito.”
“Ironic how he criticized undocumented Venezuelans while being one himself,” “This is a happy ending,” “Three Doritos later…”
“He got what he deserved,” “Let’s see him joke about being a citizen now.”
Influencer and immigration advocate Carlos Eduardo Espina also weighed in on the controversy via Instagram.
He posted a video addressing Soto’s situation.
“What goes around, comes around,” Carlos Eduardo Espina said. “Remember this Venezuelan content creator who called himself ‘Hagan la diferencia’?»
«He used to mock me, insult me, call me all sorts of names.”
“Well, it’s now confirmed he’s in an immigration detention center, awaiting deportation back to Venezuela.”
Espina clarified that he takes no joy in Nelson Américo Soto González’s arrest.
But he believes the situation is a reminder to remain humble.
“This guy spent his time provoking and belittling others. Look where it got him.”
The arrest has reignited conversations around the immigration challenges facing Venezuelans in the U.S.

In recent years, thousands of Venezuelans have been detained due to immigration issues, fueling intense debate about their future in the country.
It remains unclear whether Soto González was in the U.S. without legal status or if his detention is tied to other legal matters.
Some media outlets have speculated about possible non-immigration-related charges, though no official confirmation has been given.
Meanwhile, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) are flooded with reactions, rumors, and theories about the influencer’s arrest.
