Webinar Description

In this 90-minute webinar, immigration attorney Bruce Buchanan, co-author of the newly released I-9 and E-Verify Handbook,  and immigration compliance blogger on Twitter at @buchananvisalaw, will look at current Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies and practices.  ICE has ramped up its attacks on employers. Have you read about the  ICE raids in Mississippi where 680 workers were detained by ICE due to their unlawful status? Can your business survive that? Will management go to prison? Yes, just ask the owner of a raided slaughterhouse.

Were you one of the unlucky 3,000 employers who have received an ICE subpoena/Notice of Inspection? Hope you weren’t but your company may be next. And these audits are of businesses, small, medium, and large. In the last year, Mr. Buchanan has represented the following industries in ICE audits: restaurants, both small and franchises, construction, industrial, car dealerships, and food processing.

 

Mr. Buchanan will teach employers what to do now before an ICE raid or ICE inspection – require all employees to complete an I-9 form with proof of work-authorized status, conduct an internal I-9 audit, and draft and follow an effective Immigration Compliance Policy for your organization. Finally, Mr. Buchanan will discuss what happens in an ICE raid and/or ICE audit and how an employer should respond.
