Worksite enforcement actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will continue to increase as they have over the past two years. Meaning, employers will continue to face heightened scrutiny from ICE into their hiring practices and compliance with paperwork requirements related to the employment eligibility verification form (the "Form I-9"). ICE has the authority to begin an investigation into a company's compliance with the Form I-9 requirements to determine whether the company is hiring and maintaining a legal workforce and properly completing the Form I-9. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) requires all U.S. employers to complete and maintain a Form I-9 for all new hires, and the form must be completed within three (3) business days of hire. Employers who do not comply with workforce immigration laws are subject to civil and criminal penalties, both for hiring and/or maintaining undocumented workers and also paperwork violations related to the Form I-9.
