"If you invite a vampire into your house, the vampire retains all of its vampire powers..."

In this episode of Border Banter, host Sonia Sidhu is joined by Jonathan Grode, Managing Partner of Green & Spiegel US, to discuss why US immigration enforcement has shifted from an HR compliance routine to a boardroom emergency overnight.

Jonathan breaks down the "vampire rule" of ICE visits, what employers are getting wrong about workplace audits, and what every company must do to protect its operations and legal compliance before enforcement comes knocking.
