SUMMARY:NAVIGATION ICE AND DHS ENFORCEMENT IN THE AGRICULTURAL WORKPLACE
DESCRIPTION:You will learn:\nThis webinar will equip agricultural employers\, farm owners\, and industry leaders with practical guidance on how to prepare for- and respond to- immigration enforcement actions that may occur on or near farm property. Due to their reliance on seasonal labor and potential mixed-status workforce\, farms are more susceptible to increased workplace and community-level enforcement. We will break down what ICE is legally permitted to do\, what distinguishes an administrative inspection from a raid\, and what rights employers and workers have during each type of encounter. \nParticipants will learn concrete\, operational steps to reduce risk\, including how to strengthen hiring and I-9 practices\, assessing whether documents satisfy I-9 requirements\, how to establish internal protocols for unexpected government visits\, and how to communicate with workers without creating panic or liability. The session will also address what to do if ICE arrives at a field\, packing shed\, barn\, or housing site; how to manage the aftermath of an arrest or worksite action; and how to navigate the legal options available to foreign workers. Whether you manage a small family farm or a large multi-state operation\, this webinar will prepare you to protect your workforce\, maintain compliance\, and keep your operation running smoothly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details:\n\nWednesday\, February 4\, 2026\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. (ET)\n11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (CT)\n\n\nClick here to register.
