This invitation is for you if you are a business owner in Washington State!

If you employ Ukrainians and want to be prepared for any situation-especially if ICE agents come to your place of business this event is for you.

We know how concerned many business owners are right now. What rights do you have as an employer? What can ICE legally require from you and what can’t they? How should you respond to protect both yourself and your employees?

During this meeting with immigration attorney Gloria Domingos-Romak, business owners will learn:
📎 Your constitutional rights as a business owner
📎 How to protect yourself and your employees if ICE comes to your workplace
📎 Answers to your questions during a live Q&A session

📌 September 11, 2026
📌 6:00–8:00 PM
📌 1919 Auburn Way N, Suite 7, Auburn, WA 98002
