"Employers" are defined by ICE as CEOs, managers, supervisors, and others in a business's hiring network. He confirmed that following IMAGE/ ICE Best Employment Practices, even if the employer does not actually sign up for IMAGE, is "right on the money" as far as corporate immigration compliance is involved.
