Chamber of Commerce Raises Concerns Over ICE Form I-9 Policy Changes
What happened
The Chamber of Commerce raised concerns regarding ICE's March 2026 changes to the Form I-9 enforcement framework. These revisions substantially alter the distinction between technical and substantive violations and effectively eliminate the statutory cure period for good-faith employers.

Why it matters
The policy revisions, which were issued as a fact sheet rather than formal rulemaking, create significant uncertainty regarding compliance with the statutory framework established by Congress. The changes expand liability for clerical errors unrelated to employment authorization.
