RAIDS; CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS; ICE AUDITS!
Will Alleged Immigration Violations By Employers Be The New White Collar Crimes Targeted By The Trump
Administration? Will Your Business Be The Unwitting Victim Of An I.C.E. Sting?
|
|
The Trump Administration has prioritized worksite enforcement for 2018 and beyond as part of the "
M
ake
A
merica
G
reat
A
gain" agenda to include
punishing employers
who employ unauthorized workers. Thomas D. Homan, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Deputy Director recently announced during a press conference in Washington D.C. that he wants "...to see a 400% increase in work site operations. We are not just talking about arresting
[only]
the aliens at these work sites, we are also talking about employers who knowingly hire people who are unauthorized to work."
Putting his stated priority into action, on January 10, 2018 ICE agents raided 987 7-Eleven franchise stores and arrested undocumented workers. More raids are anticipated and as a result, employers should consider the potential penalties. Civil penalties for knowingly employing undocumented workers can skyrocket to $21,916 per violation and criminal penalties can result in both additional monetary fines
and
jail time,
even for employers.
As a preventative strategy, employers should review their current I-9 employment verification best practices including establishing an audit procedure that ensures compliance with the current immigration law requirements. Equally important, employers should have an action plan in place to the extent that ICE raids the workplace.
These procedures and action plans are complicated and Archer's White Collar Defense & Corporate Compliance and Immigration Groups routinely assist our clients both in establishing such compliance protocols. Additionally, we regularly have provided a defense for our clients in the event of a government enforcement action.

You've joined the chamber, but now what? Naturally, you attend your first meeting where you meet a few new contacts. When you attend just one more meeting, you begin to pick up conversations where they left off. Soon you've gotten to know someone in a substantial way, and that leads to knowing more people and making more connections. What brings about even more significant relationships is making regular appearances at meetings important to your area of business. There is a chamber committee for every interest-commit to being present at those meetings to deepen your relationships.
