France demands transparency after Capgemini’s U.S. unit won a $4.8M ICE contract for immigration enforcement.

France’s finance minister is demanding transparency from Capgemini over its U.S. subsidiary’s $4.8 million contract with ICE for immigration enforcement services, including skip tracing with performance incentives. The contract, signed in December 2025, has drawn scrutiny amid heightened criticism of ICE’s enforcement actions, including recent fatal incidents in Minneapolis. Minister Roland Lescure challenged Capgemini’s claim of operational independence, arguing parent companies must oversee subsidiary activities. CEO Aiman Ezzat said he only recently learned of the contract and confirmed an internal review is underway. The controversy has sparked backlash in France over corporate ethics and involvement in controversial government operations.
