        Warning Signs that an Immigration Raid or Worksite Enforcement Action May be Imminent
                      USCIS Publishes Final Rule that Significantly Revises the Regulations that Govern the Process for Obtaining Religious Worker Visas
        On September 12, 2008, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that it had notified seven companies that they would, “be considered for debarment from federal contracting because each ha[d] been found to be unlawfully employing persons without employment authorization.” The GoffWilson White Paper, “Debarment From Federal Contracts: A New Weapon in Ice’s Intensified Campaign of Worksite Immigration Enforcement?” discusses the Executive Orders that form the legal basis for ICE’s action, and the implication of this new strategy for employers.
             In the last several years, the government has increasingly sought to control illegal immigration into the United States by targeting the employers of undocumented workers. Even employers who do not knowingly hire such workers, or whose work force do not include a large percentage of foreign nationals, face potentially costly government sanctions if their Form I-9 Verification System is found to be inadequate. GoffWilson’s article, “An Employer’s Introduction to Immigration Law and Worksite Enforcement” traces the evolution of employment immigration laws and their enforcement from the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) in 1986, which gave us the ubiquitous Form I-9, to the massive worksite enforcement actions that have been in the recent news.
