On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions.

Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

I am shaking with rage. This horrific, immoral, cowardly decision by @childrensnational.bsky.social will cause irreparable harm to patients and families who put their trust into Children’s. It’s unconscionable!

How does an I-9 inspection notice differ from a judicial warrant? Do they look different? 3/

How does an I-9 inspection notice differ from a judicial warrant?
- I-9 inspection notices are administrative notices. They do not give DHS any special authority or power to enter non-public areas of a business without the owner’s consent. The Fourth Amendment protects business owners from unlawful searches & seizures.
- ICE still needs a judicial warrant to be in non-public areas without the owner’s consent, this is why it is important to put up signs marking private areas of your business.
- If your business records, such as I-9 Forms, are kept in a non-public area of your business, the Notice of Inspection does not give ICE the right to enter those areas to access those records. Regardless, you do not have to turn over the records at the time of the initial ICE visit.

Do they look different?
Yes, they look different. A warrant will include the name of the court from which it was issued and will carry the signature of a judge. An I-9 Notice of Inspection looks like a letter on DHS letterhead, with the signature of a DHS official.

What is a Form I-9 audit or inspection? What does an I-9 inspection permit ICE to do? 2/

What is a Form I-9 audit or inspection?
- An I-9 audit is when ICE comes to your business to check if you followed the rules for Form I-9.
- Form I-9 confirms a worker’s identity and authorization to work in the U.S.
- The law requires ICE to give an employer three work days to produce your I-9 Forms

What does an I-9 inspection notice permit ICE to do?
- An I-9 inspection notice is just that, a notice informing a business that ICE is initiating an audit of the company’s I-9 Forms.
- It does not permit ICE to enter the private areas of an employer’s business without the employer’s consent.
