Immigration Coffee Talk – “When ICE Comes Knocking: What Employers Need to Know”

What should employers do if ICE agents arrive at the workplace? In this episode of Immigration Coffee Talk, Greenspoon Marder immigration partners Patricia Gannon and Marcella Bermudez are joined by fellow Greenspoon Marder attorney Michelle Kramer, a Florida-based white collar criminal defense lawyer, to discuss the critical intersection of immigration compliance, workplace enforcement, and constitutional rights.

The conversation explores practical steps employers can take before an enforcement action occurs, including developing response protocols, training front-facing staff, understanding the difference between administrative and judicial warrants, defining public versus private workplace areas, and preparing employment records for inspection. The speakers also examine how federal and state laws can impact employer obligations, why preparation is key to protecting both businesses and employees, and what companies should know about responding calmly and lawfully when immigration officials arrive. This episode offers valuable guidance for HR professionals, compliance teams, managers, and business leaders looking to navigate an increasingly complex enforcement landscape.
