Overview:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has once again made changes to the I-9 Form launched in 2025.! There have been several updates to the I-9 Form with limited changes during the current immigration changes. These changes have confused Employers and professionals and have stepped up the Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts to audit companies via the I-9 Form audit process. The I-9 Form audit process is what some call the silent raid and has been hailed as a segway to ICE audits and immigration raids.
Given the immigration promises of the current administration, immigration raids have been scheduled however, the number of raids has not provided the numbers necessary to meet the deportations promised. This has angered the administration and has increased their efforts by scheduling more raids and providing the shock and awe for immigrants and non-immigrants.
Employers and their representatives need to be aware of all I-9 form changes, but they also must conduct internal audits to mitigate the increase in ICE audits. This training will go over any changes and compliance initiatives to make the I-9 form compliance less confusing.
As a former external auditor hired by DHS to review over 7,000 I-9 Forms and make corrections, it is critical to review your I-9 forms now as the new I-9 Forms have been launched. Employers and their representatives need to be clear of what I-9 Form compliance efforts are expected.
Why Attend this Training:
How Do Employers Get Audited? Targeted Industries!
ICE has historically established a list of targeted industries where it is more likely to hire immigrants. These industries include agriculture, construction, landscaping, food processing and retail, which are predominantly unskilled labor.
