Capgemini to Sell U.S. Government Subsidiary After ICE Work Draws Scrutiny

The company says U.S. contracting rules constrained its oversight of the unit.

Overview

  • Capgemini said it has begun an immediate sale of Capgemini Government Solutions and has not identified a buyer or disclosed terms.
  • The firm noted the subsidiary accounts for about 0.4% of projected 2025 group revenue and less than 2% of its U.S. activity.
  • NGO findings and press reports said the unit provided ICE with tools to identify and locate people, including a reported $48 million DHS contract in December for person-location services.
  • French finance minister Roland Lescure publicly pressed the company for transparency as protests over ICE operations in Minnesota grew, with two protesters fatally shot in Minneapolis in recent weeks.
  • CEO Aiman Ezzat said he only recently learned of the ICE work and wrote that its nature and scope raised questions compared with Capgemini’s typical activities.
