Update on I-9 Enforcement: What Restaurant Employers Need to Do Now

September 22, 2026 - 10:30AM - 11:30AM

Federal immigration enforcement is evolving rapidly, and employers should be prepared for increased I-9 audits and worksite enforcement activity. With changes in the legal landscape, anticipated policy developments, and renewed enforcement priorities, businesses that employ workers with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), or other temporary work authorization will face heightened scrutiny. Join Grossman Young & Hammond and the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington as we discuss the latest enforcement trends and share practical strategies to help restaurant employers prepare for I-9 audits, Notice of Inspections, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) worksite enforcement actions. Learn how to proactively strengthen your compliance program before an inspection occurs and understand the key steps to take if ICE arrives at your workplace.
