ICE raids are becoming a reality for more and more employers. Understanding what to do (or not do) when ICE shows up at your door is critical.
Now that the “One Big Beautiful Bill” has been passed, Employers need to learn what the current administration’s goals are and how they can mitigate them. There are several workplace immigration enforcement activities that will impact the workplace, and now is the time for Employers to prepare for what is expected with the immigration enforcement initiatives that will hit their workplace.

With worksite enforcement now a priority, businesses must act swiftly to safeguard their operations, workforce, and bottom line. This webinar will provide the knowledge and tools needed to navigate these challenges effectively and ensure that employers remain ahead of the curve in an era of intensified immigration enforcement.
