About the Program
This year has seen many changes in the federal enforcement of immigration and employment policies, many of which have a direct effect on the cannabis industry. Termination of programs like Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and humanitarian parole, conflicting guidance from the executive and judicial branches on the scope and effective dates of those terminations, federal raids of worksites including farms, and the rapid spread of information (and misinformation) in traditional and social media on ICE enforcement efforts have all contributed to disruptions in many employers’ day-to-day operations. Our panel of attorneys will discuss the differences between now and just a year ago, and what can be expected through the remainder of this year and into the next. We will also go into detail on how to best be prepared for enforcement actions at your organization and what you can do to stay ahead of immigration policy and regulatory compliance.
