French Tech Company Capgemini to Sell U.S. Unit Linked to ICE

French IT company Capgemini will sell its U.S. subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions (CGS), it said after coming under pressure to explain a contract the unit signed with U.S. immigration enforcement agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Sybille de La Hamaide and Bertrand Boucey reported the development for Reuters.

French lawmakers, including Finance Minister Roland Lescure, had asked the company to clarify the contract amid concerns over ICE tactics following the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota last month.

“Capgemini considered that the usual legal constraints imposed in the U.S. on contracting with federal entities conducting classified activities did not allow the Group to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of this subsidiary’s operations in order to ensure alignment with the Group’s objectives,” the company said in a statement.

Capgemini said the divestment process would be “initiated immediately,” but did not say whether the sale was directly linked to CGS’s contract with ICE.

CGS accounts for 0.4% of Capgemini’s estimated revenue in 2025 and less than 2% of its U.S. revenue, the group said.

Capgemini Chief Executive Officer Aiman Ezzat said last week that the company had only recently become aware of the nature of a contract awarded to CGS by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s ICE unit in December 2025.
