Resources for Employers
Resources for Employers
Employers play a crucial role in fostering a supportive and informed workplace. To help businesses prepare for potential disruptions, consider the following steps:
- Develop a response plan for unexpected workplace inspections.
- Offer Know Your Rights training for all staff members.
- Understand that both employers and employees have the right to remain silent and request legal representation.
- Establish clear public and private areas in your business. ICE can enter public areas without permission (e.g., dining area, parking lot), but cannot enter private areas without a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

Federal funding freezes and related Executive Orders (EOs) are creating uncertainty for nonprofits. Even organizations that do not receive direct federal funding may be impacted by disruptions to pass-through funding from state or local levels.
Employers can prepare for disruptions by creating a response plan, offering Know Your Rights training, and understanding legal rights regarding workplace inspections and public/private spaces.
Federal workers can access resources for unemployment, housing, food, and utility assistance through various assistance programs.
