The original headline is about Form I-9 guidance changes. Let me rewrite it to be concise and specific while preserving key facts.

Short summary

ICE reclassified Form I-9 violations on March 16, 2026, moving previously-technical errors (missing dates, incomplete signatures) into the substantive category, exposing employers to higher fines with no correction period. Employers must audit existing forms, train staff, and correct errors immediately to avoid penalties determined by violation percentage.

• •ICE changed Form I-9 violation classifications; common errors now count as substantive violations with higher penalties
• •Substantive violations carry no correction period, unlike technical violations which allow 10 business days to fix
• •Employers should audit I-9s, train personnel, and correct errors to mitigate fine exposure
