Information for Employers

• Not all Haitians will lose status on February 3, 2026. Many Haitians have other forms of status and are still eligible to work. Information from the MA Attorney General about TPS and ICE actions: https://www.mass.gov/doc/guidance-for-employers-regarding-immigration-and-work-authorization/download
• If your business is served with an I-9 Inspection Notice, please contact an immigration attorney and hang a notice in a visible area so that all workers know ICE is looking at their private records and can use the information against them.
