I-9 Ice Compliance Audits

In 2011 alone, ICE conducted I-9 audits of almost 2,500  U.S. employers, criminally arrested 221 of them,  and ordered more than $10.5 million in fines.  (Source: ice.gov - Nov. 4, 2011 press release).  In order to increase the pressure on U.S. businesses  to ensure they are hiring only those legally eligible  to work in the U.S., ICE has stated that employers  of all sizes and in every industry will be targeted  by their inspectors, with stepped up resources  that will support more auditors and more prosecutions.
