Looking for this announcement in Spanish? Click here – Versión en español \nRegister here \nJoin us for this webinar to take a closer look at what federal law says about ICE access to farm property\, including fields\, homes\, and other non-public areas. We’ll go beyond the simple directive that ICE can’t enter non-public areas by putting the law in context of the open fields doctrine and regulatory limitations. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of what options are available when officers arrive\, where legal uncertainties currently stand\, and opportunities to hold government accountable if ICE overreaches. We will also discuss practical steps for preparing your farm or organization. Last but certainly not least\, we’ll hear how Idaho Organization of Resource Councils is serving farmworker needs and responding to ICE in their community\, as an inspiring example that others might follow. Whether you are a farm owner\, farm worker\, or work for a nonprofit organization\, folks will leave better equipped to make informed\, thoughtful decisions with tools grounded in both the law and care for agricultural communities. \nThis program is a follow up to our December 4\, 2025 webinar on I9s\, Immigration\, and ICE Raids on the farm. Attendees requested more in-depth information on ICE at the farm. \nWe hope to see you there! Something specific you’re hoping we’ll cover? Take the opportunity when registering to tell us about it. Can’t make the date or time? Go ahead and register. This program will be recorded and a link will be sent to all registrants. \nRegistration here \nFarm Commons Team\nFarm Commons URL:https://smallfarms.cornell.edu/event/ice-on-the-farm-part-2/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://smallfarms.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Farm-Commons-7x4TqV.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Farm Commons":MAILTO:info@farmcommons.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
