Baker Donelson
Thomas Homan, Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said his agency has plans to increase workplace immigration enforcement. In a speech to the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, Homan confirmed that enforcement activities will increase up to four to five times the current levels. Homan also stated that ICE will target employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants as well as the employees who are in the U.S. without the necessary documentation. The increase in enforcement activities will include workplace investigations, I-9 audits, and even large-scale workplace raids of employers suspected of employing illegal immigrants.
