Overview

In this webinar, immigration attorney Bruce Buchanan, the co-author of I-9 and E-Verify Handbook, will discuss the significant increase in ICE enforcement, through I-9 subpoenas/inspections, the higher ICE penalties up to a maximum of $2292 for a substantive paperwork error per I-9 form violation, and more investigations of document abuse and citizenship status discrimination by IER. Employers must be prepared for ICE audits/inspections and IER investigations by conducting regular internal I-9 audits, correcting errors on I-9 forms, and drafting an effective Immigration Compliance Policy for your organization.

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 increased 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.
