Capgemini Says ICE Contract Is Suspended After Backlash in France

French officials demand transparency over the U.S. unit’s work for the immigration agency.

Overview

  • Capgemini told AFP the December 2025 ICE deal is not currently being fulfilled and said the CEO has called an extraordinary board meeting for this weekend.
  • A company message seen by AFP said the contract is subject to legal challenge, as the U.S. subsidiary Capgemini Government Solutions reviews its contents.
  • CEO Aiman Ezzat said he learned of the deal through public sources, stressed CGS’s separate U.S. governance, and noted its independent board is examining the contract and procedures.
  • France’s finance minister Roland Lescure urged “extreme transparency” and questioned the claim that separate governance prevented the group from knowing about the contract.
  • Previous reporting identified a $4.8 million investigation and background-checks contract and a separate skip‑tracing agreement worth up to $365 million with performance incentives, prompting union and political outcry and the removal of a past Capgemini webpage praising work with ICE.
