Comply confidently with I-9 and immigration compliance changes


If you think you’re in compliance with immigration policies, it’s time to check again. President Trump is cracking down on illegal immigration and implementing a program of mass deportation. The implications continue to rock companies across the U.S., and failing to comply can prove costly.

These new initiatives include criminal penalties for employers who knowingly employ immigrants who are not lawfully authorized to work in the United States. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids on workplaces have increased. In addition, DHS officials have ramped up inspections of employer I-9 files. These Employment Eligibility Verification audits have increased tenfold since January. Often, ICE agents serving audit notices have arrested workers at the same time.

That all amounts to a host of challenges for employers. Questions abound, and employers need answers to this fast-evolving situation.

On August 5, join immigration lawyers Chris Thomas and Greg Goldberg as they get you up to speed on this rapidly changing topic. Chris is often quoted in major media outlets like The Washington Post and The New York Times and business publications like Forbes.

In fact, he recently told Forbes, “Being raided and hit with criminal charges can debilitate business operations and result in long-term reputational damage. Criminal exposure can include prison terms of up to 10 years per count, fines of up to $500,000 per count and forfeiture of assets.”

This online course is the ideal compliance training for anyone who handles I-9 forms and immigration issues.

Webinar Agenda


I-9 modernization updates. Review recent changes to I-9 processes, including remote verification, E-Verify and the increased scrutiny of electronic I-9 systems provided by outside vendors.
Raid preparation. Know exactly what to do before ICE drops by, including spotting and fixing I-9 problems.
Correcting issues. Identify and address missing or incomplete Forms I-9 and other common issues.
Increased enforcement. Learn tactics to navigate the new ICE taskforces and Homeland Security’s I-9 audit quotas leading to dramatic increases in enforcement activity.
Employer liability and joint employment. Explore government priorities around criminal prosecution of employers and a continued emphasis on joint employment with staffing agencies and contractors.

Chris Thomas in the press


“ICE sets quotas to deliver on immigration crackdown on employers”

"We are seeing audits at the usual suspects: hospitality, construction and food processing. And with the same frequency in red states as blue states.”

Washington Post

“Trump Targets Workplaces as Immigration Crackdown Widens”

“Employers do not appear to grasp the depth and breadth of options DOJ and DHS may have to bring enforcement actions. Though these agencies have shown restraint in the types of criminal cases they have brought in the past, employers should not make the mistake of assuming prior enforcement activity will serve as any indication of what may be coming.”

Forbes

“New DOJ Whistleblower Policy Bad News for Employers of Immigrants and H-1B Visa Holders”

“If you know you have undocumented workers, and you’re not severing ties with them at this stage, you’re in a position where they’re coming pretty soon. If you wait until they arrive on the scene it’s probably too late.”
