HR, crisis management, and legal professionals are assisting employers in preparing for potential ICE raids. Preparations include closing premises to visitors, employing No Trespassing signs, and ensuring proper warrants are shown. Employers in sectors such as food processing and construction, which depend on immigrant labor, are particularly vulnerable. Workers express fear of raids, leading to absenteeism. HR consultant Kim Minnick has created resources to help protect employees while avoiding legal complications.
"Employers have long had response plans for extreme weather, active shooters, and other workplace emergencies. Now, some are quietly preparing for immigration raids, too - even if they believe everyone on their payroll is legally permitted to work in the US."
"You create this little bit of a walled garden," he told Business Insider, though he conceded that workers could still get detained once they left the work site.
