Actualité - Capgemini dans la tourmente : Le géant français du numérique au cœur de la politique migratoire américaine

An exclusive investigation by “L’Œil du 20h,” broadcast by France Télévisions and published on Monday, January 26, 2026, implicates Capgemini’s activities in the United States. The French group, a major player in the CAC 40 and a leading provider of consulting and digital services, is accused of providing strategic technological support to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), the federal agency responsible for the control and arrest of immigrants.

According to the investigation’s findings, Capgemini’s role extends beyond that of a traditional IT service provider. The company allegedly signed several large-scale contracts with ICE, the combined value of which exceeds €300 million.

The solutions developed by the French group would notably allow for the identification of migrants present on American soil in order to facilitate their arrest. This direct involvement places Capgemini at the heart of the migration policies pursued under the Trump administration, policies regularly denounced by human rights advocates.

One of the most sensitive aspects of these contracts lies in their financial clauses. In addition to the initial amounts, Capgemini could benefit from performance bonuses, indexed to the effectiveness of the tools provided.

These contractual mechanisms suggest that the group’s remuneration would be partially linked to the success of identification and arrest operations carried out by ICE, raising serious questions about the company’s economic and ethical motivations.

This collaboration with a foreign government agency involved in highly sensitive missions puts Capgemini in a delicate position. As a flagship company of the CAC 40, the group is expected to make strong commitments regarding social responsibility and respect for human rights.

In a global context where the role of technology companies in the surveillance and control of populations is increasingly scrutinized, these revelations risk fueling the debate on the ethical limits of digital innovation and on the responsibility of multinationals in the use of their technologies.
