U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Thursday began reviewing the hiring records at 1,000 employers nationwide that deal with critical infrastructure - including 52 in Arizona.
The campaign is designed to determine if the companies - chosen based on investigative leads and their connection to public safety and national security - have any employees who do not have permission to work in the U.S., according to a press release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Agents will review each company's I-9 forms, which include an employee's personal information and work authorization documents. Employers are required to complete and retain the forms for each person hired.
The review will determine whether the "document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and related to that specific individual," the press release says.
The large-scale reviews of the forms marks an increase for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has traditionally not focused its limited resources on these audits. The largest review prior to this campaign was the audit of 654 companies in July, the press release says.
