French information technology company Capgemini announced it will sell its US-based subsidiary that provides services to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The decision comes after international criticism linked to the deaths of two individuals during ICE operations.
The company did not provide a specific timeline for the sale but emphasized its commitment to addressing concerns raised by stakeholders and the public regarding its involvement with ICE.
**Why this matters**
Capgemini’s move highlights growing scrutiny of corporate contracts with immigration enforcement agencies, especially amid concerns about human rights and accountability. The decision reflects broader debates on the role of private companies in government operations that attract public and international attention.
