Since President Trump returned to the White House last month, more than 3,500 undocumented migrants have been arrested, according to daily statistics published by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). As the Trump administration has vowed to ramp up raids and arrests of undocumented people, employers should be educated and prepared for what’s to come.
“A lot of employers are understandably anxious about what to expect,” says Nina Pelc-Faszcza, a practicing immigration attorney at Shipman & Goodwin. “A lot of that anxiety comes from the fact that many employers have never had to deal with this before and they just don’t know what to do. My biggest piece of advice right now is to know and understand their rights.”
