French tech company Capgemini says selling US subsidiary after ICE backlash
Capgemini announced it is putting its US subsidiary up for sale after controversy over a $365 million contract with US immigration agency ICE to provide tools for identifying foreign nationals. The move, welcomed by the French government, follows pressure from employees and trade unions calling for the company to avoid working with controversial security and immigration agencies in the future. Capgemini is also facing a business slowdown and 2,400 job cuts in France.
