The Trump administration is implementing a series of new policies aimed at reshaping immigration enforcement and foreign investment regulations. Key directives include tightening restrictions on investments from certain countries, particularly China, under the America First Investment Policy. The administration has directed the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to enhance scrutiny of foreign investments while easing national security reviews for some transactions. Additionally, employers are being advised to prepare for increased immigration compliance audits and potential ICE raids, as the administration emphasizes stricter enforcement of immigration laws. Legal experts are warning that companies must navigate the evolving enforcement landscape carefully to avoid penalties related to unauthorized foreign workers. These developments come amid broader discussions about economic security and foreign investment regulations in the U.S. and Canada, with Ottawa also considering changes to its foreign investment rules in light of potential predatory acquisitions.
