US EditionFrench IT Group Capgemini Under Fire over ICE Migrant Tracking Contract
- On Jan 29, Capgemini suspended its $4.8 million contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement signed on December 18 and CEO Aiman Ezzat called an extraordinary board meeting this weekend.

- An internal Capgemini staff message on Jan 28 said the contract was subject to legal challenge and CGS had launched a process to examine it, with shares falling 2.8 percent to €127.85.
- The firm's global scale — more than 340,000 employees across around 50 countries — means CGT union representatives said the ICE deal conflicts with Capgemini's values and raises human rights concerns amid reported US surveillance contracts.
