French IT company Capgemini will sell its US subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions (CGS), following scrutiny over CGS's contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The decision comes after French lawmakers, including the Finance Minister, raised concerns about ICE's tactics. Capgemini cited legal constraints in the US that prevented appropriate control over CGS's operations and alignment with the group's objectives. The divestment process will begin immediately. Capgemini CEO Aiman Ezzat stated the company recently became aware of the nature of the ICE contract, awarded in December 2025. CGS accounts for a small portion of Capgemini's overall revenue.
