PARIS: French IT giant Capgemini said Sunday it was selling a subsidiary working for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency amid international controversy over the deaths of two people in ICE operations.
Capgemini, which operates in about 50 countries and is one of France’s largest listed companies, held an extraordinary board meeting this weekend after facing questions in parliament and calls for transparency from the government.
The company has been in the spotlight for days over the deal its American subsidiary signed with ICE to identify foreigners on US soil and track their locations.
The killings of two people — Renee Good and Alex Pretti — by ICE and CBP border patrol agents in Minneapolis have provoked widespread condemnation of the American agency.
The subsidiary represents 0.4 percent of the group’s global 2025 estimated revenue and less than two percent of its US revenue, the company said.
In an internal message sent to employees earlier this week, the group said that the disputed contract, awarded in December, was “the subject of an appeal”.
