Capgemini's US subsidiary, Capgemini Group Solutions (CGS), signed a $4.8m contract with ICE's Detention Compliance and Removals office to provide investigation, personal background checks and skip-tracing services. The contract includes bonuses of up to $365m for identifying and localising foreigners. Capgemini admitted the December agreement and that the contract had not yet come into effect. French ministers and MPs demanded transparency and scrutiny of contracts that could breach human rights. Observatoire des Multinationales identified 13 current Capgemini contracts with ICE, including one to manage a hotline for victims.
