The French government has pressed the company to be more transparent about its dealings with ICE, whose actions in Minneapolis in recent weeks have raised concerns in France and other countries. The government’s campaign against immigrants in Minnesota’s capital led to a deadly shooting of two US citizens in the hands of federal immigration officials.

Capgemini said in a statement on Sunday that it will immediately begin the process of selling its subsidiary Capgemini Government Solutions. It said the rules for working with US federal government agencies “now allow the group to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of the operations of this subsidiary to ensure alignment with the group’s objectives.”

It did not provide further explanation for the decision, but noted that the subsidiary represents only 0.4% of the company’s estimated revenue in 2025.

Capgemini CEO Aiman ​​​​Ezzat said that he was recently informed of the contract with the ICE subsidiary. In a LinkedIn post, he said, “The nature and scope of this work raises questions compared to what we typically do as a business and technology company.”

The announcement of the sale of the company occurred after the French Finance Minister Roland Lescure, speaking to the parliament last week, urged Capgemini “to shed light, in a more transparent way, on its activities … and to question the nature of these activities.”

The non-governmental organization Multinationals Observatory reported that Capgemini Government Solutions provided ICE with technical tools to find targets for the immigration crackdown. CapgemiSni did not immediately respond to a query about the tools.

Capgemini is a consulting and technology company that employs more than 340,000 people in more than 50 countries.
