In today’s complex and rapidly evolving immigration landscape, health care providers and businesses that employ foreign nationals (more than 25% of physicians in the United States are foreign-born) must be proactive in ensuring compliance with federal law and regulations. The risks of non-compliance—ranging from fines to workforce disruptions—are higher than ever, especially in an era of heightened scrutiny by U.S. immigration authorities.
Adding to these challenges, a recent memorandum from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rescinded the “sensitive locations” policy, which previously restricted ICE enforcement actions in hospitals, clinics, and other health care settings. This policy shift means that immigration enforcement actions, including workplace visits and audits, are now a real possibility within health care facilities, raising compliance concerns for employers, institutions, and personnel.
