With the shift in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) strategies, who is a target? If you are targeted for an ICE audit or criminal investigation, will you be prepared? Gain insight into the continuing Immigration debate, hot topic immigration issues, and learn advanced techniques in I-9 compliance. The GT team and representatives from the Department of Homeland Security* will discuss best practices that will help you to critically evaluate your current I-9 practices while allowing you to steer your business clear of fines, penalties and criminal sanctions.

Topics include:
● I-9 training for employers: Common mistakes and suggestions for internal audits. Developing and updating an immigration corporate compliance program for in-house audit protocols, reviews and tickler systems before ICE makes you show your hand.
● E-Verify: Playing at the wrong table?
● Social security number mismatch letters: Are you gambling or responding? What does the court injunction mean for your company? How much damage will the new DHS regulation do to your day-to-day business operations?
● Preventing discrimination allegations while complying with new regulations.
● Criminal investigations and administrative audits are the new games in town: Do you know the rules?
● Spinning the roulette wheel: The new world of complex and conflicting state immigration and compliance laws.

You will be able to ask questions and participate in this open discussion.

Who should register? H.R. professionals, in-house counsel, compliance specialists, and company managers or executives involved in overseeing the I-9 process.
