French IT major Capgemini has decided to sell its US-based subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions, after concerns were raised about its role in supporting migrant tracking and deportation systems for US immigration agencies.
The move comes amid political and public scrutiny in France over ethical issues linked to such contracts. Capgemini said legal constraints limited its control over the unit’s operations, prompting the decision to divest.
The company clarified that the subsidiary contributes only a small portion to its overall revenue and that the sale process will begin immediately.
