Across the Atlantic, the deployment of agents from the federal immigration enforcement agency (ICE) is sparking fierce protests, the repercussions of which now extend beyond the United States. According to information from the Multinational Observatory revealed by France 2’s “20 hours” news program on Monday, January 26, the Capgemini group, a major player in the CAC 40 index specializing in digital services, is working for the US immigration authorities through its subsidiary Capgemini Government Solutions (CGS).
This involvement comes as ICE faces intense criticism across the Atlantic. The agency is under scrutiny following the deaths of two American citizens, Renee Wood and Alex Pretti, during operations conducted in recent weeks in Minnesota, reigniting the debate on the methods used by immigration enforcement.
In France, these revelations have sparked political reactions. “The contracts of French companies deserve the utmost vigilance,” declared the Minister of the Armed Forces, Catherine Vautrin, on RTL radio Tuesday, calling for a thorough examination of their content and reiterating that “respect for human rights is a crucial issue.”
“It is time for France to assume its responsibilities. Private French companies are collaborating with ICE. We do not accept this,” said Hadrien Clouet, a member of parliament (La France Insoumise) from Haute-Garonne, citing Capgemini, during a press briefing held by his party on Tuesday.
I wonder what all of the Capgemini contractors from India think of this?
India is fantastically racist and run by fascist Modi, so…

Meanwhile everyone keeps yelling at us US citizens to solve this ourselves.
I will also yell at the French now.
I’m French and American, i’ll yell at myself in the mirror for you
That’s so efficiently helpful it almost makes me suspect you of actually being German and Kenyan!
No. But be part of the solution, though. Let the french deal with the french collaborators. But we can’t do much on US soil.
I’m actually okay if the only bed you shit in is your own, just stay outta mine alright
Europe has been washing their hands of everything they did in the americas since 1776. Easy to make the monster you created a scapegoat
Lol, it’s always someone else’s fault
Everything is the dinosaurs’ fault. Without them, there would be no wars over oil. The dinosaurs are why we’re in this mess, and if we don’t stop global warming, they will return and the cycle of suffering will begin anew.
All I want is accountability for europe’s role.
Good place to practice before France goes full right wing auth themselves
France loves paying $1000 to say they saved $10 on immigration.
This is what Americans don’t get with regard to Trump and Europe. They don’t see any problem with American domestic policy. They just don’t want to be lumped in with Lesser Countries.
We’ll see how good the French are at protesting when it’s not about their pensions.
And all this time we thought suicide bombers were an enemy.
