The rules haven't changed as much as enforcement has. ICE activity is up, I-9 requirements have been updated, visa pathways are more expensive and more uncertain, and employees across industries are scared, sometimes with good reason. This session gives GCs a practical, ops-ready framework for protecting the business and their workforce without waiting for a knock on the door.

• Know before they arrive: how to train staff on ICE onsite visit protocols, what a warrant actually requires, what employees can and cannot be asked to disclose, and how to document your response in real time.
• Get your I-9 house in order: what changed in the updated form requirements, where the fine exposure lives, how to conduct a self-audit before an enforcement action forces one on you.
• Manage the human side without creating legal exposure: how GCs are communicating with employees about immigration uncertainty, including H-1B disruption, visa cost increases, and travel risk, in a way that is honest, legally defensible, and doesn't inadvertently create employer liability.
