Overview of the webinar
In this presentation, immigration attorney Bruce Buchanan, will look at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and audits. Did you know ICE can raid your business? If they do, management may be headed to prison. If not a raid, then your chances of being a target of an ICE audit of your I-9 forms went up over 400%. In just one week in 2018, ICE delivered over 2,700 notices of I-9 audits. And these audits are of businesses, small, medium, and large. When ICE fines you, the fines will be over double the size from a few years ago.
We will also discuss how to protect your company through an Internal I-9 audit and establishing an Immigration Compliance policy.

Why should you attend?
Employers must be aware of the heightened scrutiny they face in immigration compliance. If employers are complacent, they become more vulnerable to penalties assessed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) of the Department of Justice. Thus, employers need to be proactive and conduct internal I-9 audits and draft an immigration compliance policy.
