An undocumented Moroccan gardener who worked for the Le Pen family was deported by plane to Morocco on April 23, 2026, according to French authorities. The man, identified as Ahmed B., had been employed for several years at the family's property in Montretout, Saint-Cloud, without a valid work permit.
The deportation followed a legal process initiated after his arrest during a routine identity check in early 2026. French immigration officials confirmed that he was escorted to Charles de Gaulle Airport and placed on a flight to Casablanca. The Le Pen family has not publicly commented on the case.
This incident has reignited debates in France about immigration enforcement and the employment of undocumented workers by public figures. The gardener's lawyer argued that his client had been exploited, but the court upheld the deportation order based on his illegal status.
