We’ve engaged with a Local Immigration Law Attorney and Somos Un Pueblo Unido to hold this luncheon to provide crucial information on:  Staff Training / Policy, I-9 audits, Home Land Security – Notice of Inspections (NOI) & Process, ICE raids, Compliance, Violations, Fines, Penalties.

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent arrives at your site on a hot, sunny afternoon. She has an audit notice, but pushes to speak with workers and review your files immediately. What do you do? What should your employees or the employees of your sub-contrctor do if you aren’t there?

SIGN UP to attend this Luncehon via ZOOM or IN-Person for factual information.

More NAHB members are facing this and other worksite enforcement scenarios as ICE has ramped up oversight of employers’ obligations to verify the validity of each employee’s identity and employment.
