Protecting Nonprofits & Their Communities
Thursday, March 20, 10:00 - 12:00 pm, In-Person

The session will begin with a presentation and interactive discussion that will provide clarity on ICE’s role and enforcement actions, distinguishing them from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Participants will gain practical, actionable strategies, including creating a workplace preparedness plan for ICE visits to minimize disruption and ensure compliance, staff training on handling ICE interactions and responding confidently under pressure, implementing confidentiality policies to safeguard client and employee information, and best practices for handling sensitive immigration data while ensuring security and privacy compliance. The session will also cover I-9 verification, audits, and employer obligations. The training will conclude with key takeaways, advocacy next steps, and an opportunity to connect with local immigrant rights organizations over lunch. Bring your questions, share your concerns, and leave with a clear action plan to protect your nonprofit and the communities you serve.
*Lunch will be provided.
