With work permits lapsing on July 27 and lower‑court deadlines pending, companies face I‑9 compliance risks, potential discrimination claims, and possible retroactive reinstatement.

Despite the current rule narrowing the definition, lasting fear and misinformation create de facto barriers, impacting immigration adjudication and family-based petitions.
