Less than a week after the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granted the Government’s motion for summary judgment, thereby dismissing the Chambers’ lawsuit challenging mandatory E-Verify for federal contractors, the Chambers filed an emergent motion with the District Court seeking an injunction (or stay) pending the appeal of the District Court’s decision to dismiss the Chambers’ lawsuit as a matter of law.
DHS lawyers are scheduled to decide today whether to delay the implementation of the new rule mandating E-Verify for federal contractors (currently scheduled for September 8) pending the appeal.
Should you have any questions regarding your business’ present obligations with respect to E-Verify, or what, if anything, your businesss should be doing to prepare for the September 8 deadline, please do not hesitate to contact us.
