The U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reportedly doubled the number of audits that it conducted during the entire 2017 fiscal year. In May, the agency’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit reported opening 3,510 worksite investigations in the current fiscal year, which includes 2,282 employer I-9 audits, 594 criminal and 619 administrative worksite-related arrests. Those in violation of the law could face both criminal and civil penalties, which last year resulted in $97.6 million in judicial forfeitures, fines and restitution, and $7.8 million in civil fines.
