French IT giant Capgemini announced on Saturday that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its US subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions. The divestment follows a period of controversy regarding the subsidiary's professional ties to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency tasked with enforcing immigration policies under Donald Trump.
The purchaser is ITC Federal, a US-based provider of digital services and solutions for federal agencies focused on defense and homeland security. Capgemini had previously signaled its intention to sell the subsidiary in February, a move prompted by the disclosure of a contract with ICE. That agreement involved providing a tool designed to identify foreign nationals on US soil and track their movements.
At the time of the initial controversy, Capgemini explained that standard legal constraints in the United States regarding federal contracts for classified activities prevented the group from exercising proper control over certain aspects of the subsidiary's operations. The situation drew significant attention from members of parliament and French Economy and Finance Minister Roland Lescure, who called on the company to provide transparency regarding its US activities.
ICE officers, who are heavily armed and tasked with implementing the hardening of Donald Trump's immigration policy, have faced intense criticism across the United States for intervention methods that many consider violent. The agency was notably subject to widespread condemnation following the shooting deaths of two US citizens in Minneapolis earlier this year.
Capgemini, which operates in approximately fifty countries and is listed on the stock exchange, reported a global turnover of 22.5 billion euros in 2025. According to the company, the divested subsidiary accounted for a minor portion of its financial footprint, representing only 0.4% of the group's global turnover and less than 2% of its total revenue within the United States.
