LEGAL ALERT
On March 16, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) updated its Form I-9 Inspection guidance, changing how the agency classifies certain Form I-9 errors during employer audits. Although the underlying Form I-9 requirements remain the same, several errors that were considered “technical or procedural” are now treated as “substantive,” which may result in penalties without an opportunity to correct them.
For a chart of these reclassified errors and recommended next steps, please see this article from Jackson Lewis P.C.
