Construction employers in Texas face heightened scrutiny from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
regarding Form I-9 compliance. To mitigate risks, it’s crucial to conduct voluntary internal audits, ensuring all I-9 forms
are complete and accurate. Employers should also train staff on proper documentation procedures and establish a
response plan for potential audits or site visits. Engaging legal counsel proactively can further safeguard against
potential penalties and operational disruptions.
