2025 Immigration Enforcement Actions: Many NAHB members are concerned about the mass deportation program instituted early in the second Trump Administration, which includes jobsite raids. NAHB's legal team prepared a document during the first Trump Administration, When ICE Comes Calling, containing best practices for business owners to use during ICE raids. While NAHB will update the document to reflect the impact the latest policies will have on best business practices, this guidance is still valid for concerned business owners to be prepared for an ICE raid or other immigration enforcement action.
