HR Strategies for Immigration Enforcement: What to Do Now
When: 2pm ET, Wednesday, October 22, 2025
Duration: 60 minutes
Immigration and employment laws have been top-of-mind for HR professionals since the start of the second Trump administration, and for good reason. Increased visa vetting, audits of Forms I-9 and worksite enforcement raids, such as one that resulted in the arrest and detention of over 475 individuals at a Georgia Hyundai plant, show the critical importance of compliance and preparation by employers of foreign workers.
This 60-minute webinar, presented by attorney Sachiyo Peterson, a partner with Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease, will provide an overview of current immigration enforcement trends and provide tips on how employers can be prepared for a visit from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Whether ICE is raiding your facility, looking for a specific employee or auditing your I-9 forms, this webinar will provide you with protocols and tips on how you can be prepared.
Attendees will learn:
- How current immigration enforcement trends impact HR practices and policies
- Tips on how to be prepared for an ICE visit
- Changes implemented by the administration to employment authorization validity
- Strategies for conducting internal I-9 form audits to identify and correct potential compliance issues
- And more
