Worksite immigration enforcement is increasing in 2026, placing greater pressure on employers to ensure strict compliance with Form I-9 and E-Verify requirements. It highlights shifting policies, rising audits, and potential expansion of E-Verify usage, possibly toward broader mandates. Employers are urged to improve accuracy, conduct internal audits, train HR staff, and adopt digital tools like E-Verify+ to streamline verification. Overall, organizations must stay proactive to manage risk and adapt to evolving enforcement expectations.
