ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Earlier this month, Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents descended on 100 7-Eleven stores to conduct employee interviews and check employment paperwork. More than 20 people have been arrested so far in conjunction with the raids, which one ICE official described as “the first of many” such engagements.
To help retailers prepare for a potential encounter with ICE, NACS is offering a free webinar the topic tomorrow, February 1, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET. “How Retailers Can Prepare for Immigration Raids” will be presented by former ICE Director Julie Myers Wood and former ICE Executive Deputy Associate Director John Connolly.
