On April 23, 2026, a 32-year-old Moroccan national was deported from France to Morocco. The man had been working as an undocumented gardener for the Le Pen family, including the late Jean-Marie Le Pen, who died in January 2025.
The deportation occurred around 12:30 PM local time, according to sources. The individual had been living and working in France without proper documentation, and his employment by the Le Pen family came to light during a routine immigration check.
French authorities confirmed that the man was removed from the country in accordance with immigration laws. The case has drawn attention due to the high-profile nature of his employers, but officials stated that the deportation was a standard procedure for those found to be in the country illegally.
No further details about the man's identity or the duration of his employment have been released. The Le Pen family has not publicly commented on the matter.
