Bloomberg Law Quotes Dawn Lurie on Heightened I‑9 Enforcement Risks

Bloomberg Law quoted Dawn Lurie in its article, “ICE Raises the Stakes for Employers’ I‑9 Compliance Failures.” The piece, published on May 19, 2026, examines Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s evolving enforcement approach and the increased risks employers face—particularly those relying on electronic I‑9 systems.

Lurie emphasized how systemic issues in electronic compliance programs can quickly escalate penalties, noting:

“Electronic I‑9 violations are an easy enforcement win: one systemic deficiency like a bad audit trail can sweep in hundreds, or thousands, of records at once. That’s a faster path to a large fine than picking apart individual forms.”
