Why Staying Current Matters

ICE audit frequency and enforcement priorities shift with administration policy. Under the 2026 enforcement posture, ICE has increased Form I-9 audits across high-risk industries including construction, food processing, and hospitality.

DHS adjusts I-9 civil penalty amounts annually for inflation under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act. Staying current means knowing the actual fine exposure you face — not numbers from two years ago.

E-Verify mandates have expanded in 14 states since 2020. Employers operating in multiple states need to know which locations require enrollment, which are voluntary, and which carry independent penalties for non-compliance.
