French Tech Giant Capgemini to Sell US Subsidiary Linked to Controversial ICE Contract
In response to growing backlash over its contract with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), French technology giant Capgemini has announced the sale of its U.S. subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions. The company faced intense scrutiny both domestically and internationally as French lawmakers demanded explanations for its involvement in immigration tracking amid a crackdown on migrants by U.S. authorities. The decision to divest comes as Capgemini aims to distance itself from the controversy that has sparked outrage and demands for accountability regarding contracts with ICE. This situation highlights increasing tensions between U.S. immigration policies and international corporate ethics.
