Fact-Checks Find No Evidence for Viral 'Torenza' Passport at JFK

Independent reviews point to an AI-generated hoax.

Overview

  • The video, posted by the channel The Neuroptera, shows a woman presenting a passport labeled “Torenza” at a JFK checkpoint.
  • JFK officials and U.S. border agencies have not confirmed any corresponding incident or passenger record.
  • UN, ICAO and U.S. State Department databases contain no entry for a country named Torenza.
  • Verification reports say the footage and document details likely result from AI manipulation.
  • Claims that the traveler was detained, taken to a hotel and later disappeared remain unverified, with comparisons drawn to the Taured urban legend.
