Running a business today means balancing multiple responsibilities—managing operations, supporting your team, and staying compliant with ever-changing laws. For many employers, one area that often feels overwhelming is immigration enforcement. Understanding how to navigate an ICE inspection or an I-9 audit can make the difference between smooth operations and costly legal troubles.
That’s why RCAW is proud to invite members to an exclusive event, “Know Before They Knock: ICE Preparedness Dinner & Networking.” This evening of education, networking, and practical training is designed to give business owners and leaders the confidence and knowledge they need to protect their companies and employees.
Why ICE Preparedness Matters
Imagine this: an unexpected knock on your office door or a jobsite visit by ICE officials. In a moment like this, knowing your rights and responsibilities as an employer is crucial. Without preparation, even a minor mistake could lead to serious consequences, from fines to legal disputes.
RCAW understands the unique challenges business owners face. This event is not just about legal jargon; it’s about giving you real-world strategies and confidence to handle difficult situations professionally. By learning from experts, you’ll walk away prepared—not panicked—if ICE ever comes calling.
