Capgemini Government Solutions is the U.S. federal consulting arm of Paris-based Capgemini SE, one of the world’s largest IT and consulting multinationals. In December 2025, Capgemini received the largest of ICE’s 13 skip-tracing contracts – up to $365 million over two years to locate immigrants with deportation orders.

ICE Skip Tracing Contract

Capgemini’s contract is part of the ice-skip-tracing-2025 program, the largest skip-tracing procurement in ICE history.

• Initial order: $4.8 million for the first three months
• Contract ceiling: $365 million over two years (the largest among all 13 skip-tracing vendors)
• Mission: Using technology and surveillance to locate targeted immigrants and relay locations to ICE ERO
• Capacity: Each contractor may receive up to 50,000 cases per month

International Backlash

The contract drew attention to how a major French corporation became entangled in U.S. immigration enforcement. In January 2026, the Washington Post reported that Capgemini was having internal doubts about the contract, with the company reportedly questioning whether the reputational risk was worth the revenue.

The Consulting-to-Enforcement Pipeline

Capgemini’s involvement illustrates how mainstream corporate consultancies are being drawn into the enforcement apparatus. The company is better known for IT outsourcing and digital transformation than for hunting immigrants – but the $365 million ceiling made it hard to refuse. Each contractor is instructed to first use “all technology available” before moving to physical surveillance.
