Capgemini said Sunday that it will start the process of selling off Capgemini Government Solutions, a subsidiary that provides technology services to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, setting up a corporate reassessment amid increasing scrutiny of ICE enforcement actions. The company made the announcement as French officials and international attention have focused on the conduct of ICE agents during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, including incidents that have raised alarm in France and other countries.

In its statement, Capgemini said it would “immediately start the process of selling off” the unit. The company said the “rules for working with U.S. federal government agencies” did not allow it “to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of the operations of this subsidiary to ensure alignment with the group’s objectives.”

Capgemini did not provide further details about why those operating-control restrictions led it to seek a sale, but it said the subsidiary accounts for only 0.4% of its estimated 2025 revenue. That framing suggested the decision was aimed at distancing the broader company from a relatively small portion of its business that is tied to federal immigration enforcement work.

Capgemini CEO Aiman Ezzat said in a LinkedIn post that he was only recently made aware of the subsidiary’s contract with ICE. Ezzat wrote that “The nature and scope of this work has raised questions compared to what we typically do as a business and technology firm.”

The sale announcement came after France’s government pressed Capgemini to be more transparent about its dealings with ICE. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure, speaking to parliament last week, urged Capgemini “to shed light, in an extremely transparent manner, on its activities … and to question the nature of these activities,” according to Lescure’s remarks as relayed by the company’s critics. Lescure’s office did not comment on Capgemini’s decision.

Non-governmental organization Multinationals Observatory reported that Capgemini Government Solutions provided ICE technical tools used to locate targets in the immigration crackdown. Capgemini did not immediately respond to a query about the tools, according to the report.

Capgemini describes itself as a consulting and technology company employing more than 340,000 people across more than 50 countries.
