Legal Alert: Preparing for an ICE Inspection
July 02, 2009
This past week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued 652 Notices of Inspection on unsuspecting employers across the country, well more than it issued during all of last fiscal year. This nationwide initiative is a direct result of new enforcement guidelines issued on April 30th, 2009, which altered the department's focus from one of workplace raids to pick up undocumented workers, to one of criminally prosecuting businesses that hire undocumented workers.
