Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Central Ohio

In the first 45 days of the new Trump administration, immigration and ICE raids made the news almost daily. However, what does that mean for employers? ICE raids are but one piece of the puzzle of an overall agenda of heightened enforcement. In this session, immigration attorneys Kelli and Dwight will discuss how heightened enforcement can affect all businesses, from a potential visit for ICE, to audits and other worksite investigations, to considerations for mergers and acquisitions, and more. Whether your company employs individuals needing sponsorship or not, the Department of Homeland Security has broad investigative powers to ensure all employers are compliant with laws requiring only the employment of authorized workers, and any investigation is costly and disruptive, but there are steps your company can take now to be prepared.
