ICE Issues Worksite Enforcement Advisory
D.Ray Mantle, February 7, 2008
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the division of Homeland Security responsible for enforcing immigration laws, recently issued a Worksite Enforcement Advisory to employers, and to encourage participation in eVerify and IMAGE programs. This month's advisory focuses on fraudulent Social Security cards:
ICE is issuing this worksite enforcement advisory to make employers aware of significant fraud trends encountered by the law enforcement community so that employers do not inadvertently facilitate acts of identity theft within their own workforce. ICE, in cooperation with other federal agency partners, such as the Social Security Administration, USCIS and the Federal Trade Commission are working together to enhance efforts to protect and promote the integrity of the Social Security number.
