Capgemini, the French IT giant, announced on Saturday that it has signed a final agreement to sell its American subsidiary. This sale comes amid controversies related to the company's connections with ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Donald Trump's administration.
Details of the Deal and Its Implications
According to Capgemini, the buyer of this subsidiary is ITC Federal, recognized as a provider of digital services and solutions for federal entities responsible for domestic security and defense in the U.S. The group added in a statement: "This deal is subject to the usual conditions for such transactions and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks."

When asked about the sale price, Capgemini stated that it would not disclose this information. In February, Capgemini announced its plans to sell Capgemini Government Solutions, a subsidiary specializing in services for federal entities. This move followed the revelation of a contract with ICE to provide tools for identifying foreigners on U.S. soil and tracking their movements.
Criticism and Reactions
At that time, Capgemini attempted to justify its position, stating: "The usual legal restrictions imposed in the U.S. on contracts with federal entities involved in classified activities prevent the group from having adequate control over certain aspects of this subsidiary's operations." Members of Congress and the Minister of Economy and Finance, Roland Lescure, called on the company to clarify its activities in the United States.
ICE, responsible for enforcing Donald Trump's strict immigration policies, has faced significant criticism in the U.S. for its interventionist methods, which are considered violent. The agency came under increased scrutiny following the shooting of two American citizens in Minneapolis earlier this year.
Capgemini, which operates in about 50 countries, is one of the largest listed companies in France and reported revenues of 22.5 billion euros in 2025. The subsidiary in question accounts for only 0.4% of the group's global turnover that year and less than 2% of its revenues in the United States are attributed to this subsidiary.
