The French technology group will transfer Capgemini Government Solutions to US firm ITC Federal following criticism over the subsidiary’s work linked to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

French technology company Capgemini has reached a definitive agreement to sell its United States subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, following controversy over its links to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
The company announced the agreement on Saturday, identifying ITC Federal, a US provider of technology and enterprise services for federal law-enforcement, homeland-security and defence agencies, as the buyer.
Capgemini said the transaction is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. The company did not disclose the financial terms of the agreement in the announcement.
The sale follows months of controversy surrounding the subsidiary’s work for ICE, the federal agency responsible for enforcing US immigration laws under President Donald Trump’s administration.
Criticism intensified after the disclosure of a contract involving technology designed to help ICE identify and locate foreign nationals in the United States.
The contract attracted opposition from campaigners and critics of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, particularly those concerned about deportation operations and the treatment of migrants.
Capgemini had announced in February that it was putting the subsidiary up for sale. The company said legal restrictions surrounding contracts with US federal agencies involved in classified activities limited the parent group’s ability to exercise appropriate control over certain aspects of the subsidiary’s operations.
Capgemini Government Solutions represents a relatively small part of the wider group’s business. According to the company, the subsidiary accounted for approximately 0.4 per cent of Capgemini’s global revenue in 2025 and less than 2 per cent of its US revenue.
The decision comes as technology companies face growing scrutiny over their involvement in government surveillance, immigration enforcement and national-security operations.
For Capgemini, the sale is expected to separate the group from a business unit that has become a source of reputational and political controversy in both the United States and Europe.
The agreement will now proceed through the required closing process, after which Capgemini Government Solutions will operate under its new ownership.
