French tech giant Capgemini will sell its US subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, due to controversy surrounding its contract with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). The subsidiary has been providing "skip tracing services" to ICE since December 18, locating individuals for enforcement and removal operations, with payments expected to exceed $4.8 million. Capgemini stated it had not been able to ensure alignment with group objectives within the subsidiary. The decision follows increased scrutiny of ICE practices, including recent fatal shootings involving immigration agents, and pressure from French lawmakers. Capgemini's CEO acknowledged awareness of the contract's nature through public sources, prompting concerns about its alignment with the company's typical business.
