Fragomen Partners, Bo Cooper and Edward Raleigh, will speak at a SHRM webinar on Wednesday, February 19, discussing how to prepare your workplace for immigration enforcement.
Join this webinar to equip yourself with real-time knowledge and tools necessary to proactively manage and support your workforce, including documented and migrant workers, amidst evolving immigration policies and ICE enforcement actions. Currently, the ICE raids seem to be targeting individuals with existing removal orders for quick deportation. Employers are not yet the focus of these raids but are likely to become a focal point in the future.
Key discussion points include:
Current Immigration Enforcement Landscape:
- Summary of recent executive orders affecting immigration, including stricter vetting and changes to birthright citizenship.
- Analysis of ICE strategies, focusing on individuals with removal orders and potential shifts to employer-targeted enforcement.
Proactive Workforce Assessment:
- Methods for identifying Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, or others with temporary immigration status.
- Approaches to encourage voluntary status disclosure with confidentiality and trust.
I-9 Compliance and Internal Audits:
- Best practices for internal I-9 audits to verify employment eligibility.
- Guidance on correcting I-9 errors and ensuring federal compliance.
Developing a Response Plan for ICE Actions:
- Steps to develop an action plan for unannounced ICE visits, plus information on employer rights and responsibilities.
- Training for staff on handling ICE interactions with minimal disruption.
Support Systems for Migrant Employees:
- Resources to help employees navigate immigration status.
- Promoting a workplace culture centered around inclusion & diversity that ensures security for migrant workers.
By attending this webinar, you can proactively prepare and implement robust compliance and support strategies to mitigate risks associated with immigration enforcement actions and maintain a stable, inclusive, and legally compliant workplace for your organization. You will earn 1 professional development credit (PDC) for attending this webinar.
