ICE conducted I-9 inspections of several Abercrombie & Fitch retail stores in Michigan in November 2008, uncovering several technology-related deficiencies in the company’s electronic I-9 verification system. ICE found no instances where Abercrombie & Fitch knowingly hired unauthorized workers.
Each U.S. employer has an obligation to verify the employment eligibility of each of its workers and document it on Form I-9. Please contact our San Francisco Immigration Law Office if your company needs guidance in the area of I-9 compliance.
