On June 11th, a law requiring employers to give migrant employees 5 days notice PRIOR to ICE sweeps takes affect.
Doesn't that mean that an employer would be breaking FEDERAL law?

1st and foremost, I have been using everify for over a decade. And my temp workers are vetted/verified.

Does it have a maximum notice time? Like at least 5 days, but no more than XX days? If not, send a blanket notice to every company in Oregon tomorrow that you may be coming by any time on or after June 14th to do a sweep. Boom, law complied with.

With the commies running Washington, I'm sure that this is set up so that if ICE does raid a business and take away some of the workers, their families will be able to sue the evil capitalistic company for damages due to a warning not being provided.

Check IRS records for who works at a raid target.
Give notice to employer of impending raid.
Raid, find no illegals because they all stayed home.
Raid those homes and detain/deport the whole family.

Let me know if I missed how this WA law works in any way.

Let the West Coast burn.

They will never learn.

Give the dumb asses what they want, but give them no help cleaning up their mess

Did you read the article you linked?

The state law requires employers to notify employees of I-9 audits and to notify employees of the results of the I-9 audit.

The law doesn't say anything about ICE enforcement sweeps. Nor is it likely ICE tells employers ahead of time about a sweep, other than perhaps a few exceptions like DoD munitions makers and industries that handle dangerous materials and chemicals.

Step 1: gather the email addresses of every employer in the state
Step 2: ask Claude to send an email to every employer in the state that ICE is going to perform and audit next Monday.
Step 3: ask Claude to send a follow-up email every day saying that they need to reschedule the audit to one week from the current date.
Step 4: fine every company that doesn't tell migrant workers every single day that ICE is coming on Monday.

LOL

Like ICE tells employers a GD thing in the first place.

Talk about a law with no logical way of affecting change.

It's what politicians do best. "See, I did something. It's totally ineffective and irrelevant, but I did something."

ICE : "we do not see migrants, we see illegal aliens."
