My Employees are Legal! Beware of the ICE Raid and Form I-9 Audit

Join GARCA via Zoom to hear from Philip Siegel, Esq. from Hendrick, Phillips, Salzman & Siegel, P.C. to learn about preparing for ICE raids and I-9 audits.

Webinar Description

With immigration enforcement on the rise, roofing contractors face increasing risk of workplace audits and enforcement actions. In this timely and practical session, employment attorney Philip J. Siegel will walk contractors through what to expect from ICE worksite raids and I-9 audits—and how to prepare before they happen.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of employer rights and obligations during an ICE visit, including how to respond to search warrants, administrative warrants, and employee questioning. The presentation will also provide step-by-step guidance on properly completing and maintaining Form I-9, avoiding common compliance mistakes, and reducing exposure to costly penalties.

Designed specifically for contractors and employers in high-risk industries, this session will cover:

How to prepare for and respond to an ICE worksite raid
Key differences between judicial and administrative warrants
Employer responsibilities (and limits) during employee questioning
What to expect during an I-9 audit and how to comply within required timelines
Best practices for completing, correcting, and retaining Form I-9
Strategies for conducting internal audits and minimizing liability

Whether you’re managing a small crew or a large workforce, this program will provide practical tools to help protect your business, ensure compliance, and avoid costly surprises.
