International companies are facing scrutiny for their business dealings with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following fatal shootings by federal immigration authorities in Minnesota. Roland Lescure, the French minister of finance and economy, is seeking answers from Capgemini, a French company, regarding a $4.8 million contract its U.S. subsidiary has with the Department of Homeland Security for skip tracing services. The contract, which helps ICE track down foreign nationals, has raised concerns in France, prompting calls for transparency and a review of the company's activities. Capgemini's CEO stated the subsidiary operates independently and the contract is under review, but the French minister deemed the response insufficient, emphasizing companies' responsibility for their subsidiaries' actions.
