Capgemini Sells US Unit Amid ICE Contract Row
1 Feb
Summary
- Capgemini is selling its US subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions.
- The sale follows pressure over a contract with U.S. immigration enforcement.
- The subsidiary represents a small fraction of Capgemini's revenue.
Capgemini announced on Sunday, February 1, 2026, that it will sell its U.S. subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions (CGS). This decision comes after significant pressure, including inquiries from French lawmakers and the Finance Minister, Roland Lescure, concerning a contract CGS held with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The company cited that legal constraints in the U.S. prevented appropriate control over CGS's operations, ensuring alignment with Capgemini's objectives. While the divestment process is initiated immediately, Capgemini has not explicitly stated the sale is a direct result of the ICE contract.
Capgemini CEO Aiman Ezzat had previously indicated the company recently learned of the contract's nature, awarded in December 2025. However, he noted Capgemini lacked access to classified information or contracts due to U.S. security regulations. CGS represents only 0.4% of Capgemini's estimated 2025 revenue and less than 2% of its U.S. revenue.
