US EditionFrench tech company Capgemini to sell US unit linked to ICE
Capgemini will divest its US unit after controversy over skip-tracing services for ICE, which generated $4.8 million in contracts, amid political and public pressure in France.
- On Sunday, Capgemini said it was selling its US subsidiary working for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the divestiture process will be initiated immediately.
- French lawmakers demanded transparency after Multinationals Observatory revealed the ICE contract and Aiman Ezzat wrote last week that management were 'recently made aware' of it, prompting political pressure.
- Capgemini Government Solutions has been under contract since 18 December to provide skip tracing services for enforcement and removal operations worth $4.8 million through 15 March.
- Thousands protested in major US cities, with demonstrators rallying in New York and Los Angeles while Capgemini said the disputed December contract is under internal appeal.
- The unit represents just 0.4 percent of group revenue and Capgemini said legal restrictions and firewalls limited control, while the subsidiary holds one of 13 contracts with ICE.
