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
