This program will guide employers through the critical steps of preparing for and responding to potential ICE activity at the workplace. Topics include assessing the likelihood of a raid, understanding the distinctions among ICE raids, audits, and searches and seizures, and recognizing the limits of governmental authority to search the premises or arrest employees. Participants will learn the two key decisions that should be made in advance, how to evaluate ICE search warrants, and how to develop an effective “ICE Enforcement Plan,” including designating a point person and outlining essential response elements. The session will also cover best practices for first encounters, such as what your designated representative should say and do, how to handle requests for employee files or interviews, and how to avoid claims of obstruction. Finally, guidance will be provided on managing internal communication in the aftermath of a visit, addressing employee concerns, and responding to media inquiries from both print and television outlets.
