Strategies to Address Worksite Enforcement

This guide outlines strategies to address worksite enforcement in light of the revised ICE enforcement agenda announced on January 10, 2018. The document details the three main components of the new strategy: compliance, enforcement, and outreach, with a specific focus on the enforcement of laws against unauthorized workers. It emphasizes the importance for employers to assess their I-9 compliance programs proactively. The guide presents several methods for conducting this assessment, including audits by external or internal experts, refresher training utilizing updated materials from USCIS, and the implementation of best practices such as enrolling in E-Verify. The document warns that failure to adopt these strategies may lead to significant repercussions, including reputational damage, civil fines, and potential loss of government contracts.
