Description:

Join us for a Zoom webinar covering ICE Workplace Raids and I-9 Audits: Important Guidance for Employers on March 5, 2025 presented by Bernadette O'Brien and Eric Ostling.

Workplace raids conducted by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are making headlines and occurring in cities around the country. A “workplace raid” is an unannounced operation to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants working at a business. ICE agents may question employees and seize documents.

ICE is the main federal agency responsible for enforcing workplace immigration laws. There are two key divisions in ICE: (1) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); and, (2) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). HSI handles I-9 audits and broader investigations. ERO handles identifying, detaining, and removing workers due to immigration violations.

In light of recent developments, it is crucial for employers to understand and develop their response measures to an ICE visit to the workplace and to educate their Human Resource Departments and frontline managers/supervisors on how to respond to an ICE visit, and how to properly conduct an 1-9 audit either before an ICE visit or to ensure compliance before an issue arises. Join us for this important webinar, which will include information on:

• ICE workplace enforcement actions and current trends;
• Responding to a civil warrant for the workplace and/or an employee;
• Protocols for conducting an I-9 audit/responding to a discrepancy in an I-9;
• Applicable state and federal anti-discrimination laws;
• Appropriate questions about immigration status before a job offer is made;
• California versus federal law on immigration policies;
• Fines for non-compliance.

Cost of attendance: $50

Zoom information will be provided upon registration.
