The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced a new "Worksite Enforcement Strategy" in which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will be targeting for criminal prosecution those employers who "knowingly hire illegal workers."
Further, ICE agents will also be looking for "evidence of the mistreatment of workers, along with evidence of trafficking, smuggling, harboring, visa fraud, identification document fraud, money laundering and other criminal conduct." The announcement goes on to state that ICE offices will obtain indictments, criminal arrest or search warrants or a commitment from a U.S. Attorney's Office to prosecute the targeted employer before arresting employees for civil immigration violations at a worksite.
The complete announcement can be found on the NLBMDA website at http://www.dealer.org/.
