Even with proper onboarding and I-9 compliance, dealerships remain vulnerable to unannounced audits, inspections, and raids from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including actions led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

These actions can shut down operations, expose owners and managers to civil or criminal penalties, and cause serious workforce disruption.

Agenda Topics Include:

• How dealerships can proactively prepare for DHS/ICE enforcement actions
• What to do if agents arrive unannounced, including your legal rights and limits
• Strategies to minimize operational and reputational fallout
• Key compliance practices to reduce legal risk
• How to train your staff to respond legally and professionally
