Manufacturers Must Prepare for Increased ICE Enforcement
High-profile raids of manufacturing facilities by federal immigration agents are likely just beginning, labor and immigration attorney Jorge Lopez said. Increased federal funding for Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents still hasn't hit the agency and won't have a measurable impact on staffing there for months.
So, expect site visits and raids to increase in Q4 of this year and especially in the first half of 2026, Lopez says. He also offers advice on how to prepare your paperwork for federal investigations, what companies are (and are not) obligated to provide and how to limit legal exposure.
