Webinar: What Every Employer Needs to Know About I-9 Enforcement, ICE Audits, and Audit Readiness in 2026


On July 28th at 3pm, global immigration law firm, Fragomen will host a webinar suitable for HR and LTC administration focused on providing information about I-9 Enforcement, ICE Audits, and Audit Readiness in 2026.

I-9 compliance requirements are changing fast, and the cost of falling behind has never been higher. With ICE worksite enforcement on the rise, a new government Fact Sheet reclassifying common I-9 errors as substantive violations, and E-Verify mandates expanding across the country, employers face greater compliance and audit risk than at any point in recent history.

Join this a free, one-hour webinar breaking down the current I-9 enforcement landscape, the latest changes to ICE audit guidelines, and a practical framework for assessing your organization's employment eligibility verification program.
