French tech giant Capgemini has decided to sell its US subsidiary after controversy over its work for the immigration enforcement agency ICE. The subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, provided skip tracing services to ICE. This means it helped locate individuals whose whereabouts were unknown. Public records show the contract started on 18 December and is worth more than $4.8 million, running until 15 March. Capgemini has 13 contracts with ICE in total. The decision came after outrage over ICE agents’ actions in Minnesota. ICE agents fatally shot two US citizens, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, sparking protests across the US and intense scrutiny of the agency. Pretti’s shooting involved Border Patrol, an agency working alongside ICE. Capgemini’s statement said it "had not been able to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of this subsidiary's operations in order to ensure alignment with the Group's objectives." It added, "the divestiture process of this business will be initiated immediately." The controversy has also caught the attention of French politicians. Finance Minister Roland Lescure called for transparency on all contracts Capgemini holds with ICE. Opposition MP Hadrien Clouet urged sanctions on French companies working with ICE, stating, "French private companies are collaborating with ICE. We do not accept this." Capgemini, founded in 1967, is a major IT services and consulting firm. It employs over 340,000 people worldwide and is valued at €22 billion. CEO Aiman Ezzat acknowledged the issue, saying on LinkedIn that the contract's nature raised questions about the company’s typical business practices. The firm is now moving quickly to sell the US unit responsible, aiming to distance itself from the controversial contract amid growing protests and political scrutiny.
