DESCRIPTION:Vice v. Virtue: Immigration Law in a Complex World\nAILA MidSou
 th Chapter Conference 2026 · Session 18 · Room B\n\nPanelists:\n• Bruc
 e Buchanan (Phelps Dunbar\, Nashville\, Tennessee)\n• Emily Brown (Eleva
 te Justice\, Pensacola\, Florida)\n\nToday's enforcement environment is de
 fined by unprecedented coordination among ICE\, FDNS\, and the Department 
 of Labor\, a compliance trinity capable of turning a single oversight into
  a multi-agency investigation. ICE worksite audits\, FDNS site visits\, an
 d DOL H-1B enforcement initiatives such as Project Firewall are surging si
 multaneously\, while information sharing lets each agency capitalize on th
 e findings of the others.\n\nParticipants will learn how agencies coordina
 te investigations\, where compliance vulnerabilities most commonly arise\,
  and how to build corporate immigration programs grounded in the virtues o
 f diligence\, transparency\, and accountability while avoiding the vices o
 f complacency\, siloed compliance\, and willful ignorance.\n\nThe panel wi
 ll discuss:\n• The evolving partnership among ICE\, FDNS\, and DOL and w
 hat it means for employer compliance.\n• ICE worksite audits\, raids\, a
 nd I-9 enforcement trends.\n• FDNS site visits\, fraud indicators\, and 
 petition verification initiatives.\n• DOL enforcement priorities\, inclu
 ding Project Firewall and H-1B wage investigations.\n• How a vice in one
  area can become a violation in another through interagency data sharing.\
 n• Common compliance sins: incomplete public access files\, wage discrep
 ancies\, job duty inconsistencies\, and I-9 deficiencies.\n• Virtuous co
 mpliance practices that reduce risk before government scrutiny begins.\n
 • Preparing employers for audits\, site visits\, subpoenas\, and governm
 ent investigations.\n• Ethical obligations when uncovering historical co
 mpliance problems.
