French tech company Capgemini says selling US subsidiary

PARIS, Feb 1 (Reuters) - French tech company Capgemini said ​on Sunday it was ‌selling its U.S. subsidiary Capgemini Government ‌Solutions.

Capgemini has been under pressure in recent days to explain a contract it signed ⁠with U.S ‌immigration enforcement agency ICE, amid growing criticism of ‍ICE following weeks of protests against U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

"Capgemini ​considered that the usual legal ‌constraints imposed in the United States on contracting with federal entities conducting classified activities did not allow the Group ⁠to exercise appropriate ​control over ​certain aspects of this subsidiary's operations in order to ‍ensure alignment ⁠with the Group's objectives," it said in a ⁠statement.
