DHS Secretary Mullin recently met with business leaders to discuss how to improve employer compliance without shocking the economy.

DHS says worksite enforcement will continue, and businesses must prepare for that. Construction raids have actually increased under Mullin compared to Noem, in target areas like South Texas.

Last month, in June, CNN reported a planned increase in worksite enforcement and probes related to employing illegals. That same month, Treasury and EEOC both released new guidance targeting illegal alien employment and visa schemes in June, while DHS has several rules pending to limit work authorization across the board. All this indicates a gradual closing-in on legal and illegal alien employment.
