Essential Information on ICE Procedures After an I-9 Audit for Restaurant Operators
February 17, 2026 - 10:00am - 11:30AM
Last year, many DC Metro restaurants received I-9 inspection notices from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities, yet most operators have not been contacted further. The main challenges typically arise after submitting I-9 documents.
RAMW Allied Member, Grossman Young & Hammond will host a webinar detailing post-audit events for restaurant owners and managers.
The session covers:
- Responding to ICE notices: addressing paperwork errors, suspect documents, intent to fine notices, penalty ranges, and investigation steps.
- Key deadlines for hearing requests to avoid non-appealable orders.
- ICE settlement strategies before formal complaints and an overview of litigation processes with OCAHO(Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer).
- Potential for criminal prosecution, including search warrants, grand jury investigations, indictments, arrests, trials, and penalties.
Speakers:
- Becki Young, Managing Partner, Grossman Young & Hammond
