The Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) announced on November 19 that it would begin delivering I-9 audit notices immediately to approximately 1,000 employers across the country associated with critical infrastructure. From initial reports, it appears that the notices are primarily subpoenas for I-9 and supporting documentation. Employers that receive audit notices should make careful note of the date by which a response must be submitted to ICE and contact their immigration counsel as soon as possible to review the subpoena and coordinate their responses. Employers should avoid any detailed discussion of their I-9 processes with the ICE representative. Also on November 19, at the “2009 Government and Employers: Working Together to Ensure a Legal Workforce” symposium sponsored by ICE and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agencies praised Jackson Lewis, and other employers, for their use of E-Verify, the government’s online system to verify employment eligibility of new hires. If you have any questions about ICE subpoenas or other immigration matters, please contact your Jackson Lewis immigration counsel.
