Capgemini sells American subsidiary criticized for ICE contract

Euronews Portugal12 September 2026 at 18:09

The French technology company Capgemini announced the sale of its American subsidiary, Capgemini Government Solutions. The subsidiary was the target of criticism due to a contract maintained with the United States Immigration Service, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

Capgemini Government Solutions was responsible for providing the American immigration agency with technological solutions. These solutions aimed to identify and locate foreign citizens within the territory of the United States.

The sale of the subsidiary occurs in a context of growing scrutiny over technology companies that collaborate with immigration agencies. The contract with ICE had generated controversy and pressure from immigrant rights advocacy groups.

Details about the buyer and the value of the transaction were not specified in the article.

Why this matters

The sale of the subsidiary may affect American government clients who depended on its technological services. The deal is relevant for technology companies that provide services to the government and raises questions about corporate social responsibility in contracts with controversial immigration agencies. The operation follows a trend of technology companies reconsidering contracts with ICE after public pressure.

Manuel earns €15,000 per month from a successful business that started at home: "I earn €500 per day"

Manuel, an entrepreneur from Palma de Mallorca, in Spain, started about ten years ago washing cars in his home garage, for friends and acquaintances, and transformed this activity into a business that earns between 10,000 and 15,000 euros per month, with daily revenues between 300 and 500 euros. His service evolved from conventional washes to more specialized detailing cleanings, serving between three and five cars per day, and he implemented a monthly subscription system (€15.99 for quick washes and €45.90 for complete cleaning). Despite the success, he faced bureaucratic difficulties, including the temporary closure of the establishment due to an urban planning infraction. Manuel estimates that a manual car wash business can start with an initial investment of five to ten thousand euros.

Portugal increasingly uses arbitration, but supply remains concentrated

Portugal reached a historic record in 2025 with 16,524 arbitration cases filed, an 11% increase compared to 2024, driven mainly by consumer arbitration, which facilitated citizens' access to alternative dispute resolution. The most frequent disputes involve insurance, transportation, and essential services such as electricity, gas, and water. Although there are 40 authorized arbitration centers in Portugal, commercial arbitration remains concentrated in a single center in Lisbon, and 89% of arbitrators are men aged between 40 and 60. Experts warn that growing demand may overload the centers, which must strengthen resources and diversify institutional offerings, while also drawing attention to the need for public investment in state courts.
