Here are some resources which may be helpful for any business that faces concerns with immigration enforcement:

• The National Restaurant Association and the Restaurant Law Center have prepared a quick memo for operators, which can be found here.  A webinar will be hosted on February 10th at 2pm ET to learn more – registration and details for that can be found here. 

• The American Hotel and Lodging Association provided this flyer titled 5 steps for employers regarding immigration enforcement. I have also heard the Commerce Dept is working with the Office of Immigration Affairs to develop a resource guide specifically for small businesses. I’ll keep you all posted.
