Understanding exactly when consent is legally required for federal officers to conduct searches or interviews on your premises.
Understand the criminal exposure your organization faces if employees or managers mishandle an enforcement encounter.
Voluntary for most private employers, but mandatory for federal contractors and specific states. Know your obligations.
Our attorneys have delivered immigration enforcement presentations and policy reviews to organizations on understanding their immigration risk, proactive measures for HR and C-suite leadership, and the legal boundaries of what federal officers can and cannot do on private property. We have co-authored policy guidance with large-firm co-counsel on ICE authority in medical settings. We work proactively and reactively on worksite enforcement investigations and white-collar investigations with an immigration nexus. In the current environment, employee fear and misinformation about warrant requirements, federal officer authority, and potential criminal liability for interfering with enforcement actions create real risk for organizations and their employees. Clear, accurate guidance is essential. Not having effective policies and a plan in place can create chaos and confusion, increasing the risk of arrests and extended operational disruption.
At least annually; high-turnover industries quarterly or semi-annually.
