Increased immigration enforcement and a reduction in illegal entry into the United States remain among the Trump administration’s highest priorities. Notably, Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan has reportedly ordered Homeland Security Investigations (ICE’s investigative arm) to increase its worksite enforcement actions by “four or five times” in the new fiscal year.1 In the past, ICE conducted worksite raids to arrest employees who lacked work authorization in the United States. While worksite raids have not yet occurred under this administration, they are expected to return soon, this time targeting aggressively both employers and employees.
