Overview
Capgemini announced it will immediately begin divesting Capgemini Government Solutions, its U.S. subsidiary that holds contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the company said.
The move follows scrutiny of a December 2025 ICE "skip-tracing" contract and pressure from French officials after the fatal shootings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, public reporting and officials said.
Aiman Ezzat, Capgemini's chief executive, said in a LinkedIn post he was recently made aware of the December 2025 contract and that "the nature and scope of this work has raised questions," the company said.
Capgemini said Capgemini Government Solutions represents about 0.4% of the group's estimated 2025 revenue, and U.S. government listings and public reporting indicate the subsidiary holds multiple ICE contracts and was named lead contractor on the skip-tracing work.
An independent board review of the contract began last week and Capgemini said it will start the selloff process immediately, while French Finance Minister Roland Lescure has urged the company to be transparent, officials said.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame the story as reputational and political backlash against Capgemini’s ICE ties, using evaluative words (e.g., “backlash,” linking government pressure to fatal shootings) and privileging officials and NGOs. Editorial choices—language, source emphasis, and structure—foreground controversy, while direct quotes remain source content and not editorial attribution.
