Immigration enforcement priorities have shifted, I-9 requirements have been updated, and visa pathways have become more expensive and more complex. Make sure you have the protocols in place before you need them. This session delivers a practical, ops-ready compliance framework for protecting the business and workforce in a more demanding enforcement environment.

• Build your onsite response protocol: how to train staff on what a government visit 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.
