Worksite Enforcement

The Worksite Enforcement division of Chaney Immigration Law Firm, operating under the name ICE Worksite Transgressions & Fraud (ICE WTF), specializes in guiding businesses through the complexities of U.S. immigration compliance. We offer critical legal services to ensure adherence to immigration laws, aiming to minimize potential penalties and legal liabilities. Services include assisting businesses during ICE worksite enforcement actions, such as responding to Notices of Inspection (NOIs), conducting internal audits, negotiating penalties, and representing clients in proceedings before the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO).

A key component of our services is performing internal I-9 audits within 72 hours of receiving an NOI. These audits are designed to ensure that I-9 forms are properly completed and that the company is in compliance with immigration laws before submitting documents to ICE. By conducting these audits proactively, businesses can identify and correct errors, thereby reducing the risk of severe penalties during official inspections.

Additionally, ICE WTF provides HR training in I-9 compliance, helping businesses maintain accurate and legally compliant I-9 records. This training is tailored to the specific needs of each company and focuses on preventing common mistakes that could lead to legal consequences. We also offer E-Verify impact analysis, assisting companies in evaluating the potential legal, operational, and compliance implications of enrolling in the E-Verify program.
