French company Capgemini to sell subsidiary working with ICE

French company Capgemini says it is selling its subsidiary that provides technology services to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The decision comes during global scrutiny of ICE's actions during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Two U.S. citizens have been killed. On Sunday, Capgemini stated it will start selling its subsidiary immediately. The French government had pressured the company for transparency about its dealings with ICE. Capgemini's CEO said he was only recently made aware of the ICE contract. Capgemini employs over 340,000 people in more than 50 countries.
