The Realization of "America First" and What it Means for Immigration Law

The Trump Administration has ushered in an era of optical security measures and further disruption of the current dysfunctional immigration process. DACA survival still is uncertain, while the extent of presidential power over immigration policy continues to be stretched to its uncertain limits. The America First mantra is impacting the position of the U.S. in competition for global talent and investment. On the home front, the federal courts are more critical than ever. Time for a crystal ball report.

Learn about the reality of ICE’s current worksite process, best practices to prepare employers for an I-9 audit or raid, how to protect the worker, and the always reoccurring ethical issue: who do I represent, how can I represent them, who can I NOT represent, and how do I tell them?
