Today the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency announced an unprecedented I-9 initiative. On July 1, 2009, ICE served 652 businesses nationwide with Notices to Inspect their I-9 forms. This latest action by ICE marks the new direction that the current administration is taking in regards to enforcement actions. The new administration will be focusing on employers that hire undocumented workers in an effort to stop the flow of unauthorized migration into the United States.
