The Form I-9 is two pages. The USCIS manual explaining how to complete it correctly runs 74. Most compliance problems live somewhere in that gap. And with ICE audit volumes up at least 10x in 2025, the cost of letting that gap go unaddressed is higher than ever. Kelly's own Paul Champoux has managed employment compliance for 18 years and overseen more federal audits than he can count. For the first time, he's breaking down where employers most commonly go wrong, how to run an internal audit that actually protects you, and what the consequences of noncompliance look like beyond the fines. If your I-9 process hasn't been reviewed recently, this is a good place to start. Access the full breakdown in the comments. 🔗
