Preparation is crucial when it comes to an immigration worksite enforcement action (HSI Worksite Enforcement Actions).
Even if you carefully verify the work authorization of all your employees, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a federal law enforcement agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), may still investigate your workplace based on a lead, complaint, or other factors.
If you do not have a worksite enforcement action plan in place, you should consult with a qualified immigration attorney to ensure that you are prepared in the event of an unannounced federal law enforcement visit.
In the meantime, if HSI arrives at your workplace, the American Immigration Lawyer’s Association has released the following flyer to aid you.
