Are you confident your organization is in full compliance with Federal immigration laws, or are you at risk for being assessed costly fines, or worse, for potential violations?

As I-9 audits and penalties increase in 2025, businesses must stay ahead of compliance risks. Errors in Form I-9 can lead to significant fines, even if they are unintentional. Ensuring compliance requires accurate documentation, timely verification, and a proactive compliance strategy.

During President Trump’s first term, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) dramatically increased I-9 audits, rising from about 1,360 in fiscal year 2017 to nearly 6,450 in 2019. In his second term, I-9 enforcement remains a top priority, with:

  • More ICE audits expected across industries.
  • Stricter E-Verify mandates, with some states making it a legal requirement.
  • Higher penalties for I-9 violations and unauthorized workers.
  • Tighter remote verification rules, ensuring compliance with the 2023 virtual document review process.
  • To avoid penalties, employers must take proactive steps to verify employees’ work authorization, review I-9 forms for errors, and stay updated on new regulations.
Why Should You Attend?

The process of completing, storing, and properly disposing of I-9s can be daunting.  The current Administration is strongly focused on immigration enforcement, and the changes of your organization being audited are higher than ever.  Due to this increased focus, more employers are conducting proactive self-audits of their I-9s and supporting documentation.  Additionally, more employers are participating in the Federal E-Verify program, a web-based system that allows business to electronically confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

In this informative 90-minute program, you’ll be provided with the information you need to ensure your organization is Form I-9 compliant, understand what constitutes proper documentation, recordkeeping best practices, and methods for conducting self-audits.

In this training session, we will cover what you really need to know about Form I-9 and E-Verify compliance as well as strategies for assessing hiring policies and implementing critical changes before ICE comes knocking on the door.
