As midterms approach and immigration enforcement continues to increase, employers should expect greater scrutiny of hiring practices, work authorization compliance, and employment eligibility verification programs.

Immigration policy remains a key focus area, regardless of election outcomes, making proactive compliance more important than ever. Employers should review their Form I-9 processes, prepare for potential government audits or site visits, and ensure internal policies are consistently followed across the organization.

Waiting until ICE arrives to review your I-9 process is no longer a safe strategy.

Recent enforcement trends have significantly reduced employers’ ability to correct errors or mitigate risk once an investigation begins — making proactive I-9 readiness more important than ever.

Enforcement agencies are increasingly focused on how prepared employers are in the earliest moments of a worksite visit, and even small compliance gaps can lead to fines, expanded audits, or more serious enforcement actions.

Many employers still believe they can tighten up their I‑9s or formalize a response plan once enforcement activity begins. That assumption is no...

A new bill introduced in the Senate could significantly expand E-Verify requirements nationwide.

The proposed Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2026 would:
-Permanently reauthorize the E-Verify program
-Require all U.S. employers to use E-Verify
-Increase civil and criminal penalties for employing unauthorized workers
-Strengthen fraud prevention measures within the program
-Prevent states from restricting employer use of E-Verify

While E-Verify is already required for certain employers and in some states, this legislation would establish a national standard for employment eligibility verification.

If passed, the bill could have major compliance and onboarding implications for employers across every industry. HR and compliance teams should continue monitoring developments closely.

USCIS has issued a new policy memo emphasizing that Adjustment of Status (AOS) is a discretionary benefit — and signaling a stronger preference for consular processing abroad as the “ordinary” path to permanent residence.

Key questions remain around implementation, pending applications, and possible legal challenges. Employers with pending or planned green card filings should work closely with counsel to evaluate timing, documentation, and case strategy.

Congressman Andy Ogles has introduced the ASSIMILATION Act, a wide-ranging immigration reform proposal that would make significant changes to U.S. immigration and employment eligibility policy.

The bill includes reforms to the H-1B visa program, mandatory use of E-Verify, changes to asylum and citizenship requirements, and elimination of the Diversity Visa Lottery. While the proposal reflects broader national immigration policy debates, employers may want to monitor potential impacts on workforce compliance, hiring practices, and employment verification processes.

Missouri lawmakers have passed HB 2366, a bill that would give the state Attorney General expanded authority to investigate and penalize businesses that knowingly employ unauthorized workers.

ICE’s updated Form I-9 inspection guidance is changing how employers should think about compliance. Errors once considered “fixable” may now be treated as violations the moment an inspection begins — leaving less time to correct issues before penalties apply.

With increased scrutiny around technical and substantive I-9 errors, proactive audits and accurate recordkeeping are more critical than ever for employers. Read more: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alonzomartinez/2026/05/08/ices-i-9-shift-changes-when-employers-can-fix-errors/
