SUMMARY:ICE 2026: How New Hampshire Businesses Can Protect their Employees and Communities
DESCRIPTION:Join us on for a conversation on February 17th among New Hampshire business leaders to provide insight and guidance on how to prepare for possible ICE deployments in your communities. This briefing is intended to provide clarity\, answer practical questions\, and ensure businesses are prepared to play a constructive role in keeping communities safe and resilient. As we have seen from other communities\, a militarized presence harms local economies\, eroding community trust\, and raising grave concerns about democratic governance. \nSpeakers: \n\nRic Estrada\, President and CEO\, Metropolitan Family Services\, Chicago\nJonathan Grode\, Green & Spiegel LLP (Philadelphia)\nAnna Dorman\, Protect Democracy\nChris Purdy\, Chamberlain Network\nMichael Smith\, National Security Leaders for America\nRichard Eidlin\, session moderator\n\nOur discussion will cover:  \n\nWhat business leaders can expect during a deployment.\nKnow Your Rights – legal options businesses have for responding to ICE actions\, including protecting your workforce and keeping operations going\nMessaging and communication recommendations\nQ&A\n\nWe know business leaders are often on the front lines of community response. An ICE deployment can affect employees\, customers\, and operations – from public perception and safety concerns to disruption of commerce and anxiety among staff and patrons. Business leaders may also face questions about their company’s responsibilities\, how to communicate with their teams\, and how to support their mayor and local officials during times of heightened tension.
